Why have pillar coral populations declined so significantly? Like all wild corals, pillar corals are struggling against ocean warming and acidification. To make matters worse, they are also very sensitive to stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD), a fast-acting and lethal coral disease spreading throughout the Caribbean. The corals in this image have been affected by the disease and, as you can see, their skeletons are exposed.
You can join the fight to stop SCTLD by monitoring your local reef for signs of infection! Learn more in this great graphic from AGRRA: hubs.ly/H0LtTmy0
