Corals in turbid waters are less affected by temperature changes

"Persistent temperature stress events are degrading coral reefs worldwide, but a new study from Florida Institute of Technology has found that corals in naturally turbid waters are less affected by thermal stress than corals in clearer water... 'We hypothesized that reduced light on turbid reefs would reduce coral stress during thermal stress events, and our research verified that'...The authors suggested that nearshore turbid reefs will need particularly high conservation status not only because they act as modern climate-change refuges and are repositories of ecological diversity, but also because they are close to human settlements." - Excerpt from Florida Tech
