Scientists race to prevent wipeout of world's coral reefs

There were startling colors on South Ari Atoll just a year ago, a dazzling array of life beneath the waves. Now this Maldivian reef is dead. It was killed by the stress of rising ocean temperatures. What's left is a haunting expanse of gray. It's a scene repeated in reefs across the globe in what has fast become a full-blown ecological catastrophe.
 
The Maldives are a group of coral atolls in the Indian Ocean. 
 
The world has lost roughly half its coral reefs in the last 30 years. Scientists are now scrambling to ensure that at least a fraction of these unique ecosystems survives beyond the next three decades. The health of the planet depends on it. Coral reefs support a quarter of all marine species, as well as half a billion people around the world.
 
"This isn't something that's going to happen 100 years from now. We're losing them right now," said marine biologist Julia Baum of Canada's University of Victoria. "We're losing them really quickly, much more quickly than I think any of us ever could have imagined."
 
Even if the world could halt global warming now, scientists still expect that more than 90 percent of corals will die by 2050. Without drastic intervention, we risk losing them all.
 
"To lose coral reefs is to fundamentally undermine the health of a very large proportion of the human race," said Ruth Gates. She is director of the Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology.
 
Coral reefs produce some of the oxygen we breathe. Often described as underwater rainforests, they populate a tiny fraction of the ocean. But they provide habitats for one in four marine species. Reefs also form crucial barriers protecting coastlines from the full force of storms.
 
They provide billions of dollars in revenue from tourism, fishing and other commerce, and are used in medical research for cures to diseases including cancer, arthritis and bacterial or viral infections.
 
"Whether you're living in North America or Europe or Australia, you should be concerned," said biologist Ove Hoegh-Guldberg, director of the Global Change Institute at Australia's University of Queensland. "This is not just some distant dive destination, a holiday destination. This is the fabric of the ecosystem that supports us."
 
That fabric is being torn apart.
 
"You couldn't be more dumb...to erode the very thing that life depends on - the ecosystem - and hope that you'll get away with it," Hoegh-Guldberg said.
 
Corals are invertebrates, living mostly in tropical waters. They secrete calcium carbonate to build protective skeletons that grow and take on impressive colors, thanks to a symbiotic relationship with algae that live in their tissues and provide them with energy.
 
But corals are sensitive to temperature fluctuations, and are suffering from rising ocean temperatures and acidification, as well as from overfishing, pollution, coastal development and agricultural runoff.
 
A temperature change of just 1.8 to 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit can force coral to expel the algae, leaving their white skeletons visible in a process known as "bleaching."
 
Bleached coral can recover if the water cools, but if high temperatures persist for months, the coral will die. Eventually the reef will degrade, leaving fish without habitats and coastlines less protected from storm surges.
 
The first global bleaching event occurred in 1998, when 16 percent of corals died. The problem spiraled dramatically in 2015-2016 amid an extended El Nino natural weather phenomenon that warmed Pacific waters near the equator and triggered the most widespread bleaching ever documented. This third global bleaching event, as it is known, continues today even after El Nino ended.
 
Headlines have focused on damage to Australia's famed Great Barrier Reef, but other reefs have fared just as badly or worse across the world, from Japan to Hawaii to Florida.
 
Around the islands of the Maldives, an idyllic Indian Ocean tourism destination, some 73 percent of surveyed reefs suffered bleaching between March and May 2016, according to the country's Marine Research Center.
 
"This bleaching episode seems to have impacted the entire Maldives, but the severity of bleaching varies" between reefs, according to local conditions. This is according to Nizam Ibrahim, the center's senior research officer.
 
Worst hit have been areas in the central Pacific. That is where the University of Victoria's Baum has been conducting research on Kiritimati, or Christmas Island. It is in the Republic of Kiribati. Warmer water temperatures lasted there for 10 months in 2015-2016. It killed a staggering 90 percent of the reef.
 
Baum had never seen anything like it.
 
To make matters worse, scientists are predicting another wave of elevated ocean temperatures starting in April.
 
"The models indicate that we will see the return of bleaching in the South Pacific soon, along with a possibility of bleaching in both the eastern and western parts of the Indian Ocean," said Mark Eakin. He is a coral reef specialist and coordinator of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Coral Reef Watch. It uses satellites to monitor environmental conditions around reefs. It may not be as bad as last year, but it could further stress "reefs that are still hurting from the last two years."
 
The speed of the destruction is what alarms scientists and conservationists. Damaged coral might not have time to recover before it's hit again by warmer temperatures.

LIST OF ILLEGAL QUESTION

1.       Question about age

·         How old are you?

·         When did you graduate high school?

·         What is your date of birth?

Age discrimination is unlawful in any term, condition, or privilege related to employment. If you faced with these questions you can choose not to answer, or answer with the truthful, if vague, "My age is not an issue for my performance in this job."

2.       Questions about ancestry or nationality

There are few questions that illegal to ask relating to ancestry and race which are pertinent to employment.

·         You have a strong accent. Where are you from?

·         What race do you identify yourself as?

It would be an act of discrimination, if employers based their hiring decisions on someone’s nationality or their ethnicity. Faced with questions such as these, you can refuse to answer, stating simply, "This question does not affect my ability to perform the job."

3.       Questions About Criminal Record

During an interview, an interviewer can legally ask about any convicted crimes that relate to the job duties. For example, if you are interviewing for a position that requires handling money or merchandise, you can legally be asked if you have ever been convicted of theft. Depending of the type of job you are applying, the employer will usually do a background check.

During an interview, you cannot be asked about arrests without convictions, or involvement in any political demonstrations

You may choose to tell the interviewer simply, "There is nothing in my past which would affect my ability to perform the duties of this job.

4.       Questions About Disability

Under no circumstances is a prospective employer allowed to ask your height, weight, or any details regarding any physical or mental limitations you may have, for example:

a.       Have you ever been treated for mental disability?

b.      Have you experienced any serious illnesses in the past year?

c.       Do you have a visual, speech, or hearing disability?

The Americans with Disability Act (ADA) says it is unlawful for an employer to discriminate against a qualified applicant or employee with a disability. No employer should ask about your physical or mental limitations, unless they state it in their job requirements.  If you choose to reply, you can state "I am confident that I will be able to handle the requirements of this position."

5.       Questions About Family Status

·         What is your marital status?

·         Are you pregnant?

·         Do you have children? 

·         What is your child care situation?

·         Do you intend to have children (or more children)?

·         How much does your spouse earn in a year?

These questions can be too private, discriminative, and it is not relevant to your job requirements. If you choose to answer a question of this kind, a graceful way to answer is to say that you can perform all the duties that the position entails and that you plan to be very dedicated in your work.

6.       Questions About Religion or Belief

A few examples of illegal questions about belief or religion are:

·         What is your religious affiliation?

·         Will you need to observe a religious holiday?

An employer cannot consider religious belief in any employment action, which in this case is hiring. It is rude and discriminative to question other people’s belief or their place of worship. And it is not related to your job or your job requirements. If you encounter such questions, you can reply by saying that your belief will not interrupt your ability to do your job.
