Is the cause climate change or pollution. I saw a YouTube vidio where a fellow reefers tanks were outside and his temps were crazy high in the summer. I don’t remember specifics. But I wonder if waste treatment, agriculture ect doesn’t play a role in the poor health of our oceans. I don’t wanna sound like an earth enemy but I’m not ready to stop eatin and poopin.
It's multiple variables, with the two primary causes being ocean warming/acidification and agricultural runoff/pollution.
There is also the small issue of the Crown of Thorns Starfish, which can destroy reefs in weeks.
