And so if it was just like me, I guess going and diving there, I would have seen this beautiful spike of colors. But the scientists that essentially the corals were stressed and they actually watched. Unfortunately, the corals also died about, like a week later and just bleached themselves. And so I guess I just wanted to share this news. This is a recent article, and it's sad that our marine life and our biodiversity might not be as breathtaking as it once was

In fact, it looks like they're even more beautiful and alive with that incredible pink color you see in the photos. But then to see the reefs essentially turn into skeletons is just really sad and scary. And I hope we can get our act together on a global level to protect these ecosystems that we could potentially destroy forever. Because, like the article said, it took thousands of years for these ecosystems to build and thrive. So thank you for sharing
