Story about Bonaire in Vox

[benjijones]

Hey! I'm a journalist and got some funding from the Pulitzer Center to tell a series of stories about coral reefs and climate change, reported from Bonaire. The first story is out today. The folks at ScubaBoard were really helpful in tracking down some long-time divers on the island. So, thank you! I hope you find this helpful.

This coral reef has given scientists hope for years. Now they’re worried.

Coral around the Dutch island has recovered from past bleaching and hurricanes. Now it faces disease and severe marine heat, putting its strength to the test.

Bas Tol saying the east side reefs are reduced by 50% over the past year is about the most disheartening thing I’ve read about the situation. A well-done piece, nonetheless.
