🐠 Corals use tiny swirls to breathe, but heat is a major problem

Corals generate fast-moving water vortices using microscopic cilia to circulate vital oxygen to their tissues. This process, first detailed in a May 2026 Science study, was shown to be crucial for their survival in the boundary layer. While this system helps, warmer water reduces oxygen, forcing corals to beat their cilia faster. Above a certain temperature, this frantic movement actually depletes the available oxygen, leading to suffocation. Researchers are now studying this dynamic to better understand bleaching and mass die-offs. 😥
