A Mysterious New Disease Is Destroying Florida's 360-Mile-Long Coral Reef

Florida's coral reef is one of the great tourist attractions in the entire state, but a mysterious disease is threatening its very existence.

What Is Happening To The Coral Reef In Florida?

A new unknown disease is destroying the 360-mile-long coral reef off of Florida's east coast. It is the third largest coral reef in the world.

Scientists say that the coral reef first came in contact with the disease four years ago. For brain and star coral, which make up roughly half of the coral in the area, the disease has fatal consequences.
