2023-Now

2014-2017

2014-2017 was marked as one of the longest and most damaging bleaching events ever recorded. It affected more areas of coral reefs than seen before. This was caused by the ocean heating, as it had the highest temperatures of warming recorded in many places.

One of first mass recorded coral bleaching events in the Great Barrier Reef. Reduced Coral cover by around 80%. Most were able to make a comeback, but some did not. This was caused by one of the hottest recorded summers on the reef in the 20th century.

From 2023 to 2024 so far, there has been mass coral bleaching recorded in both the northern and southern hemispheres. It has affected 77% of coral so far. It is by far the worst event recorded, and it is not over.

2010 Marked another massive coral bleaching event. This was triggered mainly by rising ocean temperatures. It affected the Caribbean, Southeast Asia, the Maldives, and parts of the Pacific.

Scientists say that with a 2 degree celcius warming of our planet we could see a 99% decline in corals around the world. This would be devestating to our environment and our economy.

2010 Coral Bleaching Event

Coral bleaching was recorded in many different areas around the world in 2010. It started early in the year in the central pacific and started to move to the Indian Ocean and Southeast Asia. It later moved on to have massive effects on the Caribbean where we see the most damage. These are just some photos of coral around the world at that time. Some were able to come back, but some could not.

Do you need more reasons to create dynamic content? Well: 90% of the information we assimilate comes to us through sight, and we retain 42% more information when the content moves. What you read: interactivity and animation can turn the most boring content into something fun. At Genially, we use AI (Awesome Interactivity) in all our designs, so you can level up with interactivity and turn your content into something that adds value and engages. Visual content is a cross-cutting, universal language, like music. We are able to understand images from millions of years ago, even from other cultures.

What you can do to help

Support good companies

Educate yourself and others

You can not go about fixing a problem without knowing about it being a problem! Help tell your friends and and family about what is happening to our planet.

Whether that be finding the company that produces reef safe sunscreens, or supporting sustainably caught seafood. Any bit helps!

VOTE VOTE VOTE!

Participate in beach cleanups

We can only do so much as individuals, and the people who make the laws and support funding for important organizations need to be supported! Vote for local and federal elections for the people who support our oceans!

Pollution is another way that our beaches and ocean is getting damaged. Get outside and become aware of local efforts to help.

Video of coral bleaching

This is an amazing video if you want to see the process of coral bleaching sped up. You can visually see the different organsisms change color as the water is heated up slowly. This is a stress response of the coral!

Insert a great video for your presentation

And use this space to describe it. Multimedia content is essential in a presentation to leave everyone speechless. Additionally, this way you will synthesize the content and entertain your audience.

You can create a outline to synthesize the content and use words that will stick in the minds of your audience.

Down with boring content in your presentation: make it entertaining

If you're going to present live, we recommend that you train your voice and rehearse:the best improvisation is always the most practiced!

Show enthusiasm, flash a smile, and maintain eye contact with your audience: 'The eyes, chico. They never lie'. Leave them speechless.

Synthesis and organization

Narrative beings

Visual beings

We tell thousands and thousands of stories. ⅔ of our conversations are stories.

We are capable of understanding images from millions of years ago, even from other cultures.

Digital beings

Social beings

We avoid being part of the content saturation in the digital world.

We need to interact with each other. We learn collaboratively.

Use images in your presentation

  • They help break the monotony
  • They illustrate what you want to convey
  • They are a support for adding additional info
If you want to provide additional information or develop the content in more detail, you can do so through your oral presentation. We recommend that you train your voice and practice: the best improvisation is always the most prepared! Disciplines like Visual Thinking facilitate taking visually rich notes thanks to the use of images, graphs, infographics, and simple drawings. Go for it!
