Article Synopsis
- Coral reefs are experiencing a rapid decline in biodiversity due to climate change and increased disease outbreaks, making it difficult to assess the dynamics of coral diseases in the Maldives.

- The research highlights a significant rise in coral diseases, with a recommendation for a national monitoring protocol to understand and predict future disease trends in the region.
