A healthy staghorn coral ecosystem, Camiguin Island in the Philippines.

Bleached staghorn coral at Lizard Island on the Great Barrier Reef in Queensland.

Underwater heatwaves in 2016 and 2017 caused severe bleaching, resulting in the death of a third of hard coral.

This image was taken in May 2016, a few months after a bleaching event.

SAMPLE SQUARE 3
