Simulate coral bleaching in real time with a free NOAA-powered 3D reef

A single summer heatwave can transform a vibrant reef into a graveyard. One builder, moved by witnessing bleached coral on the Great Barrier Reef in 2019, created a free 3D simulation where you set the temperature and watch each coral species bleach, recover, or die according to its own validated heat tolerance. This is empirical, interactive ocean intelligence. For another look at citizen science in action, see our piece on a browser game that turns seahorse identification into a research tool.
