Scientists are turning seawater into a ‘blood test’ that could reveal coral reef damage before it becomes visible
Researchers are using water chemistry and microbes to monitor coral reef health. Ocean currents significantly influence these chemical and microbial patterns. This approach mirrors human medicine's early disease detection methods. It allows for detecting changes before visible stress appears on corals. This interdisciplinary work aims to protect vital ocean ecosystems.
