Heatwaves and a decrease in turbidity drive coral bleaching in Atlantic marginal equatorial reefs

Tropical reefs can occur naturally under suboptimal environmental conditions, where few reef-building corals thrive. These unique reefs are especially important for understanding resistance to global warming, but they are understudied. We studied a coral bleaching event that occurred in turbid reefs...
