The coral on the sea floor around Kiritimati looked like a boneyard in November 2015. Stark, white and lifeless. But there was still some hope. In April, color returned with fuzzy reds and browns, but that’s not good news. Algae has overtaken the lifeless coral on what had been some of the most pristine coral reefs on the planet.
