After extreme thermal stress and runoff caused mass soft coral "slumping" in 2024, researchers are monitoring South Korea's Jeju Island closely.
Widespread die-offs have stalled so far in 2026, but an upcoming Super El Niño threatens a repeat of the ecological damage.

Scientists have found one of the world’s largest cold-water coral reefs deep off Argentina.
Home to dozens of species new to science, the reef already shows signs of fishing damage. Researchers are now testing 3D-printed "artificial corals" to help restore this fragile ecosystem.
