Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease was first discovered in Florida in 2014. The cause of the disease was unknown. The only thing experts knew was that It was killing coral colonies, particularly the ones that provide the most shoreline protection. When the pandemic hit Belize in 2020, it coincided with the disease's emergence in Belize’s waters as it was detected initially in 2019. But there really wasn’t anyone to look for it as the COVID-19 measures kept conservation organizations, fishers and to

Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD), a highly lethal coral disease has been detected on the reefs on Bonaire.🦠 SCTLD impacts over 30 species of hard corals, many of them important reef builders. Once a coral reef is infected, over 70% of corals die. Preliminary surveys done on July 22nd and July 23rd 2022 confirm the disease is present and spreading at Karpata (dive site 9). As such, we will be closing Karpata until further notice in hopes of limiting the spread of SCTLD from this site to t

Ever wonder how stony corals grow to form massive reef structures? The answer is, slowly (1-10 millimeters a year)! Each coral polyp sits in a stony cup, or calyx, the floor of which is called the basal plate. Periodically, the polyp lifts off its base and secretes a new basal plate above the old one, creating a small chamber in the skeleton. Calcium carbonate is then deposited into this chamber, elevating the coral. Learn more here: https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/education/tutorial_corals/coral0
