Pink skunk clownfish (Amphiprion perideraion) hide among the pale white stinging tentacles of a bleached sea anemone in a reef affected by coral bleaching from high water temperature on May 08, 2024 in Trat, Thailand. Extreme heat has driven Thai sea temperatures to record highs, causing severe damage to marine ecosystems. Coral bleaching and seagrass bed degradation are threatening the ecological balance and the livelihoods of coastal communities that rely on these marine resources. Similar marine events are playing out across a vast swathe of Asia, from the Great Barrier Reef in Australia to the delicate coral ecosystems of Indonesia and Thailand.
