Extended Data Fig. 5: Mean number of sites experiencing a maximum yearly degree heating weeks ≥ 20 per decade.
From: Restoration cannot be scaled up globally to save reefs from loss and degradation
The plot shows the mean number of sites with predicted maximum yearly DHW ≥ 20 globally within a moving time window of 10 years. We mapped reef localities at a resolution of 0.5° × 0.5° latitude/longitude (n = 3780). The moving time window started at year 2015, so the first reported year is 2025. Predictions are based on an intermediate CMIP6 climate projection (SSP2-4.5, ‘middle of the road’; see Methods for details), with DHW obtained from ref. 79.
