Rising sea levels threaten coastal biodiversity of rare rocky reefs on Israel’s coast
A new study led by Prof. Gil Rilov (Department of Marine Biology) has found that rocky reefs may disappear in the coming decades due to rising sea levels caused by climate change. The reefs constitute a unique and rare marine ecosystem on the northern shores of Israel. Prof. Rilov’s team used 3D topographic mapping and SLR (sea level rise) simulations to reach his conclusions, which were published in Science of the Total Environment.
