Reef Safe: How Sunscreen Choices Impact Coral Health
About this episode
In this episode, we dive beneath the surface of the water and explore how sunscreen can have devastating effects on coral reefs. Scientists have discovered that certain common ingredients are toxic to coral larvae and contribute to coral bleaching. We’ll uncover the science behind the issue, the surprising scale of the impact, and what you can do to protect both your skin and the ocean. Join us as we shine a light on how small changes in our daily routines can help preserve some of the planet’s most vibrant and vital ecosystems.
