die off

It doesn’t sound like much, but scientists think that the temperature increase has caused melting glaciers, drought, and coral reef die-off.

The dewatering of the river and the mass fish die-off, which were first reported by the news website SJV Water, have sparked an outpouring of concern in the community.

In 2022, a mass fish die-off occurred in the Klamath River after successive landslides dumped fire-scarred soil and debris into the watershed, dropping dissolved oxygen levels for several hours.

Coral bleaching is similar to but more extensive than the kelp forest die-off along the coasts of South Australia and California.

The consequences of a widespread urchin die-off for marine ecosystems could be dire, biologists say.
