Their study found that 76% of the reef sites surveyed do not have the capacity to keep pace with projected sea-level rise under a high greenhouse gas emissions scenario, threatening coastal protection and marine habitats.","category":"Science","image":null,"lang":"en","publishedAt":"2026-08-18T22:20:01+00:00","createdAt":"2026-08-18T22:30:13.096884+00:00"}}
