- For now, the reef is thriving - how long it lasts depends on us.

More like an oil field is in one of the world's healthiest coral reefs
... for the same underlying reasons and haven`t managed to destroy it YET.
The stupid title lets it sound like the oil field has contributed something to this circumstance.
Truly excited to be on the Flower Garden Banks team and to have been part of this project. Great video
Thanks so much Josh - it's a special place
"Really surprised we haven't destroyed this specific spot yet!"
"AHA, thank you, it appears we missed some" -BP
Nah bro. Learn the carbon cycle please 🙏🏻
BP "hold my 🍺"
“They can see the rise of nuclear weapons test during the Cold War” damn that’s disturbing information
this was super cool and interesting
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment - we're dropping our next episode on Tuesday. (And the whole ongoing series is here: czcams.com/play/PL8CdHFjBJ1d_eYffafogiy-YZehjq6xcs.html&si=nO6vrGuC1vNlIqDW )
I love this video. Great narration, good video clips and very informative! ♥️
thanks for the words of support -- much appreciated!
Great video! The underwater footage is a treat and the writing+narration is very engaging!
Really well done. This video is perfect. Thank you.
What a gem. I swear to god if yall eff it up
Great documentary. I could watch more!
beautifully done!
Excellent video. Thank you.
You earned the sub. Keep this up
How many 100's million years have corals been on Earth? ... and continue ro just adapt!!!
Americans traveling the world for tourism. Yet, the prettiest, untouched, undisturbed places are here in the U.S.
Is that what you took from this video?💀
Instant subscribe.
Amazing!!!
Scare tactic story coming soon
Isnt it because of cooler water temperature that make this reef not bleaching? compared to the ones in Caribbean? But calling this a heathy reef really humiliate the reef we have in Indonesia
yes, its also not a tropical coral reef either
So much doom and gloom talk. I live right next to the pacific ocean. An island where people use chemicals and dynamites to stun fish. Fertilizer run-off is everywhere.
The tied dries up most of the 1km shoreline every summer.
The reefs are still alive and thriving. Nature is resilient.
Oil is a totally natural substance,,, oil seeps are totally natural
There will still be Coral reefs if the globe warms! Many islands are pretty much made of Coral from a time when the ocean was higher and the globe was warmer.
Not if human pollution progresses the coral bleaching
It's hard to say. Part of the issue with the current warming trend is that while temperatures have been as hot (and hotter) than we expect things to get, it's usually taken tens of thousands of years to change. We expect a great deal of warming in the next 50-100 years on top of what we've already had which, as can be seen with current coral bleaching, has already had a big impact on reefs. Will they go extinct, probably not. Will all of the coral reefs we have today be completely obliterated and gone? It seems likely that they will. The great barrier reef in Australia has already lost about half of its coral. Things are not looking good.
this channel might be shadowbanned
That doesn’t look that dense in coral compared to places off the coast of south east Asia
ouchie
BP oil split something huh
😢
Scientist: “Don’t damage the coral”
Also Scientist: *drills a 6ft hole in that same coral
Yeah looks like the oil becomes a building block. It would’ve been more informative to include how a bleached coral DOES NOT MEAN it is dead coral. Please be honest
Who paid for this research?
Wonderful question
Probably U.S. National Science Foundation. You know, Science. It brought you GPS, electronics and video games, modern medicine, a healthy environment (mostly), Netflix, online shopping, and much more. But I guess we could go with your gut feeling instead?
@xchopp Asking for sources is very scientific. "Probably" isn't good enough for science.
The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Gulf of Mexico Office, part of the Interior Department has leased the area for oil production for years. They have a sizeable research budget and commission these types of studies, NOAA marine sanctuaries has a small research budget, sometimes the oil companies sponsor these studies. Money flows to research like this under the label of climate research.
@@MrLoobu well, then who did fund this?
Why am I subscribed to this channel? Is youtube making us sub without permission?
no idea, but we are happy to have you here
this an old channel. maybe you forgot or lent your phone to someone a long time ago
@@zodiacfml I've never lent my phone to anyone for any reason
And I'm absolutely certain I wasn't subscribed to them a week ago
@@TheRealBatabii as i have said this a very old channel and quiet for a while. they started posting videos just recently. You also don't see all subscriptions depending on the number of channels you follow and algorithms, performance of the videos
I was surprised to be subbed as well. It is a pretty old channel tho with a wide range of content.
most likely paid for by oil industry
Why do you think so? They didn't put a positive light on the oil industry. Just pointed out that there's a reef located in an oil field and explained why it's located there.
Grist is the last media organization in the world that would be a mouthpiece for oil companies.
sounds too much like a oil company propaganda CZcams
Why do you think so? I think the only reason they mentioned the oil industry is because it's surprising that there's a coral reef located in an oil field that hasn't been destroyed.
@@samstarlight160 correction oil companies have placed themselves in an ancient coral reefs garden! It thrives due to laws and climate ecologists that keep their eyes on them, which has forced them to donate to preserve the area and make sure it stays healthy due to past indication. 💁♀️
why is it that climate change that is causing sea level to drastically rise, is a bad thing ?
if you look at satellite images of the coast from the 70s and images from today....the sea level is exactly the same.
why do all the super rich climate change pushers keep buying multimillion dollar properties on the coast ?
why do insurance companies keep insuring properties on the coast ?
Oil isn’t nearly as dangerous as fertilizers plastics and other human wastes.
Oh boy… another climate change horror story.. 🙄.
Go visit Greenland or Antarctica if you don't believe in climate change.
Indeed. You could try to ignore them, but it's going to be increasingly hard to do that. Ask a farmer.
