The number of corals in Bonaire has decreased significantly in recent years. Dutch scientists have studied the condition of the coral and found a worrying situation. Only 5% of the coral is still alive, whereas 50 years ago this percentage was around 60%. The loss of coral is due to climate change and rising sea water temperatures.

Efforts to protect the coral are ongoing. The Reef Renewal organization is cultivating coral and releasing it into the sea. However, these efforts are not sufficient to prevent the loss of coral.

The loss of coral is a major threat not only to marine life but also to the tourism sector. The tourism sector in Bonaire depends on the presence of coral, and the loss of coral could lead to the collapse of this sector.
