Caribbean coral spawning shifts signal a measurable climate-driven change

For 19 years, the Mexican Caribbean spawning database has tracked three reef-building corals. Now, measurable shifts appear. *Acropora palmata* near urbanized reefs has lost its synchronized spawning window, a critical bottleneck for fertilization. This loss, compounded by declining coral cover, triggers the Allee Effect, reducing natural reproduction odds. The solution may require human-assisted fertilization to restore this keystone species.
