How to use coral in a sentence?

1. John Burt:

   It's a natural laboratory for studying how coral reefs might respond to climate change, these corals exist in hotter conditions than are projected for at least another century in places like Australias Great Barrier Reef and the Caribbean.

2. Jay Sirois:

   Essentially, what's happening is, two ingredients that are both safe and effective for use in sunscreen are being banned, essentially on the basis of a single study which claims that these ingredients harm coral reefs, this has to be viewed in the wider picture of the significant amount of evidence available that shows there are other, more important causes of coral decline such as global warming, overfishing, pollution and runoff.

3. David Wachenfeld:

   If the water temperature decreases, bleached corals can recover from this stress. It is important to remember that we had a mass bleaching event in 2020, but there was very low coral mortality.

4. Clay Trauernicht:

   Once a fire occurs, what you’re doing is removing vegetation, and we often get heavy rainfall events. All of that exposed soil gets carried downstream and we have these direct impacts of erosion, sedimentation on our marine ecosystems. So it really hammers our coral reefs as well.

5. David Wachenfeld:

   The early indications are that the mortality won’t be very high, we are hoping that we will see most of the coral that is bleached recover and we will end up with an event rather more like 2020 when, yes, there was mass bleaching, but there was low mortality.
