In the past 70 years, #coral cover in the iconic Florida Keys, has dropped from 50 percent to five percent and is predicted to fall even lower thanks to a brand-new villain known as "stony coral tissue loss disease." This waterborne blight first appeared in 2014, and can turn hundred-year-old-corals to mush in a matter of weeks. Over the summer, #OceanX took scientists from Mote Marine Lab, @Scripps Oceanography and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution on an end-to-end survey of the Florida Reef Tract, in hopes of identifying the bacteria causing the corals to get sick and hopefully identify a cure. #oceanx
