- Deeper coral reefs are believed to offer protection from thermal stress and bleaching due to lower temperatures and reduced light exposure, challenging the deep reef refugia hypothesis.
- Over two thermal stress events studied, mesophotic reefs (30-75 m deep) showed a decline in bleaching threshold temperatures with depth, contradicting the idea that deeper reefs are safer from climate impacts.
- The findings suggest that cooler depths do not provide immunity against climate change, indicating that both deep and shallow coral reefs are similarly vulnerable to rising sea temperatures.
