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.
- A study around Thudufushi Island evaluated four coral diseases over a 12-year period, finding an overall increase in disease prevalence, particularly skeletal eroding band (SEB), which showed the largest rise since the last assessment in 2010.
- 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.
