Closing the Bay Saved the Corals
Description
In Hawaii’s Kahalu’u Bay, where nearly all cauliflower coral vanished due to heat and crowds, the Kohala Center took bold action—temporarily closing parts of the bay to let nature heal. The move paid off: surviving corals spawned for the first time in decades, turning waters milky white with life. After initial pushback, officials approved seasonal closures, leading to hundreds of new corals thriving despite climate threats. Now, daily education reminds visitors to protect reefs with reef-safe sunscreen and mindful behavior—because this living ecosystem shields the coast and survives only with care.
