Water chemistry reveals a significant decline in coral calcification rates in the southern Red Sea
Ocean acidification and warming threaten coral reefs globally. Here, the authors show that the net contribution of corals to the CaCO3 budget of the tropical Red Sea declined dramatically between 1998 and 2015 and remained low between 2015 and 2018.
