Though not relevant to the Atlantic ocean, it is worth noting that the Australian coral reef has in fact recovered from the disastrous state it was after the bleaching and damage events in 2016/2017. Reef coverage is in fact at the highest levels ever recorded in some areas.

It does make one wonder why this more recent good news has not found the same level of exposure as when the situation was bleak back then. Perhaps good news just doesn't gather as many clicks.

BBC reported this global bleaching event is also hitting the great barrier reef and things look bleak: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-68508423

The record cover was reported in 2022: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-62402891

But i agree that it got less publicity.
