Today’s ocean is 30 percent more acidic than it was before the industrial revolution. If we stop carbon emissions today, it will take over 10,000 years for it to be healthy again.Though they make up less than 1% percent of the ocean floor, reefs support a quarter of all marine species. 85% of the corals in the Caribbean are gone, & around half the world’s corals have been killed. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/nov/26/cooling-la-nina-may-not-save-great-barrier-reef-from-mass-coral-bleaching-experts-warn
