Fishermen in the Philippines launch homemade bombs into the sea to blast fish and scoop up their remains. From microscopic plankton to sharks, little survives inside the 30- to 100-foot radius of an explosion. With 10,500 square miles of coral reef, the Philippines is a global center for marine biodiversity. But as the effects of climate change kill reefs around the world, stopping dynamite and other illegal fishing has taken on a new urgency.A recent survey of Philippine coral reefs found none in excellent condition. And a 2017 report by the @UnitedNations predicts that all 29 #WorldHeritage coral reefs, including one in the Philippines, will die by 2100 unless carbon emissions are drastically reduced. The effects of climate change — warming waters and acidification — are difficult to address. But if the stresses caused by human activity can be stopped, coral reefs have a better chance of surviving. Dynamite fishing destroys both the food chain and the corals where the fish nest and grow. Without healthy corals, the ecosystem and the fish that live within it begin to die off. One fisherman told us that 30 years ago he could go out to sea and fill his boat “until it started to sink.” Today there are far fewer fish. @bcsolomon took this photo of a diver surveying damaged coral reefs in Philippine waters.
