On the price of loyalty I thank you for supporting the advertisers who buy display ads and run their inserts with us. Many big and small retailers have featured their wares within this publication, sometimes for decades. Local “mom and pop” establishments are the backbone of our community. Your support of them in turn supports us in our stewardship of hyper-local news and advertising for our community.

All advertisers should be recognized for their commitment to supporting original news reporting and advertising content in our cities, towns, and villages. There are too many to mention in this space, so I will single out just one long-standing customer, Menards.

Their display ads and inserts have run in our publications for decades. They are family owned and based out of Wisconsin, which is tremendously important to our state’s economy – the lion’s share of the monies are spent in-state.

Meanwhile, some retailers are shifting their ad dollars to digital. That money is going out of state, since to our knowledge Google and Facebook, the two biggest providers of digital advertising, do not have significant physical business presence – and employees – in our state.

When you have a few moments, we hope you’ll do some research on the places where you spend your hard earned dollars and buy Wisconsin- and US-based products as much as you can. If one tag says “Made in China” and the other says “Made in the USA”, the choice is easy. Family ownership is another important consideration – owners who live here tend to reinvest in our shared neighborhood. In this way you can support those who support you and your family in our community.

Ethical dismissal

April 3, 2022 | 3:00PM At The Grand Theater The Messiah: Community Easter Oratorio Free to the community, this special concert event features the Wausau Symphony Orchestra conducted by Daniel Larson, and a full choir of local voices performing George Frideric Handel’s exhilarating masterpiece, including the powerful Hallelujah chorus. First performed in 1742, Messiah has, over the ages, become connected most often to Christmas. But Handel originally conceived the work for Easter and its 1742 premiere in Dublin occurred in the spring of that year, during Lent.

Entry is free, but advance ticket reservations are strongly recommended. Tickets may be available at the door.

No group/bulk orders over 10 allowed in advance.

This free concert is presented by the Chester L. Suski Arts Fund, and organized by Karla Westcott, Daniel Larson, and William Day. 137624

The city’s ethics board dismissed a complaint against a city council member, but only after strongly condemning her actions

The city’s Ethics Board Monday dismissed the complaint against City Council Member Deb Ryan following a closed session meeting. According to the complaint, Ryan is alleged to have accused County Board Member William Harris of providing “illegal” legal advice to Mayor Katie Rosenberg regarding the city’s version of the A Community for All resolution. And, the complaint accused Ryan of attempting to get Harris fired from his job at Judicare and threatening the job of the director when she refused to take action against Harris.

In a written response to the complaint obtained by City Pages, Ryan’s attorney says that Ryan’s conduct did not violate the code of conduct laid out for city council members and thus did not commit an ethics violation.

According to the response letter, Ryan is alleged to have defamed Harris by saying he provided advice to the mayor regarding the A Community for All resolution, which he says is untrue. The response lays out Rosenberg saying at the beginning of a meeting that the resolution is “is a lot of

his work” and thanking Harris for his efforts.

Ryan also disputes the characterization of the phone call with Judicare, saying that she was concerned about the organization remaining non-partisan and denies ever asking that Harris be fired.

The motion, read by Ethics Board member Robyn De Vos, said the Ethics Board “strongly condemns the actions of Alderman Ryan in the strongest terms,” but found that those actions did not violate the city’s code of ethics for city council members. The board voted to dismiss the complaint.

The actions came after one Ethics Board member recused himself and the first chair of the board, Mary Thao, resigned with pointed remarks about the process. She did not clarify those remarks to City Pages.

Emails between Thao and city officials obtained by city officials didn’t shed much light on the matter.

Marathon County mulling countywide emergency medical services study

Marathon County leaders are considering commissioning a study that would look at the possibility of developing a countywide emergency medical services program.

The county’s public safety committee voted earlier this month to keep looking into adding the study on Administrator Lance Leonhard’s work plan for the year, but elected to deprioritize it. The study would look at the need, costs and feasibility of developing a countywide system for EMS. No specific proposal is on the table, but programs in other counties range from having their own departments

Kronenwetter to hold candidate forum

The village of Kronenwetter will host a candidate forum after seeing the most number of candidates to ever run for office in the village.

The forum will take place 7 pm March 29 at the Kronenwetter Municipal Center at 1582 I-39 Frontage Road.

The forum will see candidates Danielle Bergmann, Tami Bloch, Jason Holmes, Ken Charneski, Jordyn Wadle-Leff and Timothy Shaw face off for three village board seats.

The contest initially had eight candidates, two of whom were eliminated in the February primary.

Three will be chosen by voters on April 5.

Petrowski won’t seek reelection

State senator Jerry Petrwoski announced he will not seek reelection to District 29 after serving in the post for roughly a decade.

Petrowski Petrowski was first elected to the State Assembly in 1998 before running and winning the State Senate seat in 2012.

Petrowski in a press release said that while he enjoyed serving the district, he has more he wants to accomplish and wants to spend more time with his family.

Petrowski authored 160 bills in his time in the state legislature, including everything from protecting the state transportation fund to providing North Central Health Care $5 million to address mental health reform to shielding taxpayers from the fallout of the dissolution of the village of Brokaw after the paper mill shut down in 2012.

Petrowski recently made headlines after a bill he worked on in the State Senate that would have raised Wausau’s TIF district limits was nixed after outcry that local leaders hadn’t been consulted. The bill had passed the assembly but didn’t appear to have a path forward as the state senate’s session was set to come to a close.

The state senate seat, which covers a swath of land including the Wausau area and all the way northwest to Sawyer County, is up for reelection in this November.

Mosinee Mayor and County Board Supervisor Brent Jacobson has announced he will run for the seat. Jacobson is not running for reelection to the county board.

SAFER down to five candidates to replace resigned chief

The South Area Fire and Emergency Response District (SAFER) Commission has settled on five final candidates to replace former SAFER chief Matt Savage after previously narrowing applicants down to 10 in a closed session meeting last week.

Savage recently exited the role for undisclosed reasons the commission has declined to reveal. The candidates left are Battalion Chief Benjamin Goodreau of Wisconsin Rapids, SAFER Battalion Chief Eric Lang, Assistant Fire Chief Paramedic Travis Teesch of Kaukauna, former Vesper Fire Department Captain Todd Eckes and SAFER interim chief Josh Finke.

The Weston Village Board almost terminated its contract with SAFER for fire and ambulance services in 2021 before deciding to stay. Village President Mark Maloney said Monday he believes those difficulties are in the past and believes the organization is on better footing.

“We are on a great path right now. The direction is going well,” he said. “A couple of years ago, oh my god, I was done ... We stuck at it and it is a nice joint venture. It has really gone well, not talking about the resignation. We just need to move forward.

We have a great group out there and we are doing well and are trying not to compete with other municipalities.”

SAFER will interview candidates March 16 and make a selection afterward. (Evan J. Pretzer for City Pages)

Former Mosinee teacher accused of sexual assault suing school, school officials

A former Mosinee teacher once accused of sexual assault is now suing the school, school officials, the student and Mosinee law enforcement.

Christy Mathis was accused last year of touching a 12-year-old student in class. A judge in August ruled that there was insufficient evidence and dismissed the case.

Named in the suit are the Mosinee School District, School Superintendent David Munoz, school board president Kevin Hermening, middle school principal Brad Grube, the city of Mosinee, the school resource officer and the Mosinee Police Chief.

Mathis filed the suit in federal court in late January.

According to the complaint, Mathis demanded the cell phone of a girl who was looking at it in class, the complaint reads.

The student and two of her friends went to the principal’s office after class to report an assault, according to the suit.

Mathis lost her job as a result of the accusations.

According to the complaint, Mathis says she was never interviewed about her side of the story prior to being arrested and only the student’s two friends said they saw the assault happen. They later expressed reservations that police didn’t take seriously, the complaint alleges.

with EMS workers as county employees to contracting with other services to provide EMS. The county is looking into the problem because some rural communities with smaller populations have slow response times. A county-wide program could potentially solve that problem. Waushara County has a countywide EMS system, for example, and Portage County has something similar.

Although the Public Safety Committee elected to not prioritize the study on the administrator’s work plan, work will still continue on studying the issue.

State sues Johnson Controls, Tyco over PFAS contamination AG Josh Kaul announced a lawsuit alleging Johnson Controls and Tyco Fire Products failed to address PFAS contamination issues after testing firefighting foam.

The Dem AG during a Green Bay press conference yesterday said the companies violated state spills law by failing to alert the Department of Natural Resources of PFAS contamination at and around the Fire Technology Center in Marinette since about 1962. The suit seeks to force the companies to complete a full investigation, cleanup effort, pay fines and repay at least some of the investigation costs.

Kaul said the pollution affects groundwater, drinking water, surface water, the air and the soil, harming the environment, residents and the economy.

“I’m hopeful that others who are polluting and are violating the laws see this and they realize that the Department of Justice is very serious about ensuring that our laws are enforced,” he said.

Kaul added the companies have taken steps to resolve the issue such as conducting a partial investigation of the spill, working with residents and communicating with DOJ and the DNR. “But we have reached a point in this process right now that we believe the path forward is through litigation,” he said.

Tyco Director of Environmental Communications Kathleen Cantillon told WisPolitics.com in an email the company will “vigorously defend this lawsuit.”

Cantillon added Tyco stands behind its work to investigate and clean up the con-

Godlewski airs first Senate TV spot

Sarah Godlewski is going on TV with the first ad of her Dem U.S. Senate campaign, taking a shot at U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson for telling “us to take mouthwash to cure COVID.” Godlewski’s campaign said it’s a sevenfigure buy on broadcast TV, cable, and digital in the state’s major markets for the next several weeks.

The buy comes as Dem rival Alex Lasry, on leave from his job with the Milwaukee Bucks, has seen his poll numbers tick up after spending more than $3 million on TV. He has narrowed the gap with Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes, who has consistently led publicly available polling.

Godlewski, the state treasurer who has lagged behind Barnes and Lasry in recent public polling, opens the ad saying dairy farms are disappearing, prices are up and COVID-19 is “still not gone.”

Giving Cash to a Charity Writing a check to your favorite charity is the fastest and easiest way to make a financial impact.

In some instances, you may be writing a check as part of a weekly donation to a church, in which case you can count the entire amount as a donation.

On the other hand, you may choose to attend a dinner sponsored by a charity. In that case, the amount that you paid to attend the dinner needs to be reduced by the amount of benefit you have received (i.e., the cost of the dinner). The remaining amount will be deemed to be the charitable contribution.

Whether it is the entire donation, or a portion of it, the amount can be deducted from your income tax for the year the gift was made.

Give us a call today so we can discuss your charitable goals and get you on the path to leaving a lasting legacy.

2020 election through April as the former justice remains entangled in a series of lawsuits challenging his authority to carry out the probe.

Gableman’s investigation has been maligned by lawmakers in both parties over a series of gaffes. But Vos, R-Rochester, on Tuesday praised Gableman in a statement for doing “an outstanding job looking into the election concerns people all across Wisconsin had.” He said Gableman “continues to face unwarranted resistance.”

Those lawsuits include arguments that Gableman must interview witnesses in public before an Assembly committee rather than in his private office as he’s sought. Another challenges his efforts to have local officials jailed unless they submit to private depositions.

“We will continue to fight the obstruction and myriad of lawsuits filed by Democrats and out-of-state liberal activists, questioning the Legislature’s subpoena power and ultimately keeping this matter from concluding in the time frame we expected,” Vos said.

The original contract was set to expire last fall. But Vos and Gableman signed an extension that provided $676,000 in taxpayer money to carry out the probe. That budget included a note that suggested the funding was through Dec. 31.

The amended contract runs through April 30 unless extended by both parties.

It also pledges the Assembly will cover attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses from ongoing litigation. The contract doesn’t include a cap on those costs.

abetting the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.

The targets are: Sen. Ron Johnson, ROshkosh, and Reps. Tom Tiffany, R-Minocqua, and Scott Fitzgerald, R-Juneau.

The complaint was filed yesterday by 10 Wisconsinites from five congressional districts, including two in Fitzgerald’s and five in Tiffany’s.

The lawsuit aims to remove the elected officials from office under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment — the Disqualification Clause — which prohibits public officials from holding office if they have “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” against the United States or “given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.”

The Disqualification Clause was originally created after the Civil War to keep officials who had served the Confederacy from holding public office.

Super PAC founder Kirk Bangstad said the group repeatedly asked AG Josh Kaul to press charges against the delegates under the 14th Amendment, but Kaul did not take action. Bangstad suggested Kaul had not filed charges because he doesn’t want to upset voters.

“Attorney General Josh Kaul is a politician — he knows that we’re a very purple state. I think he doesn’t want to anger voters, and I think that’s the reason he hasn’t brought this himself,” Bangstad said.

JUDICIAL CONTEST

Two local attorneys have their eye on a circuit court judicial seat separating them is a challenge

Nancy Stencil and county board supervisor Jeff Johnson.

Harris’s endorsements are fewer, though they include Marathon County judges (none of Cveykus’ endorsements are from Marathon County Circuit Court judges).

He points out that though fewer, all his endorsements left personal messages, such as Jill Falstad, former District Attorney and later circuit court judge. She is now retired.

Backgrounds

Cveykus

Harris

It’s been something of a trend lately that even non-partisan races could hardly be called so in reality, even if technically true. With parties on both sides getting involved in spurring candidates to run for local office, something that kicked into high gear as Donald Trump was elected president, local races are much different than they used to be.

Which makes the race for Marathon County Judge of Branch 2 so interesting. County Board Supervisor and Judicare attorney William Harris is running against private defense attorney Ricky Cveykus. In that, and in talking with both candidates, it’s not easy to draw ideological differences between the two. And both respect and like each other, they say; it’s been a cordial political campaign. Both are the same age: 39.

Neither, for instance, believes that a judge should bring ideology into the courtroom or legislate from the bench.

Both acknowledge, however, a very important role a judge plays in the broader criminal justice conversation. While the day-to-day operations are very important, the role of shaping how criminal justice is handled in the county is also an important part of being a judge. Both in their interviews with City Pages acknowledged the issues of court backlogs spurred further by the pandemics.

There are a number of causes of the court backlog,

Cveykus tells City Pages, from the pandemic to prosecutors dropping a hundred pages of discovery right before a trial to defendants playing games such as firing their attorney right before a trial to buy time. And the delays in getting some clients a defense attorney. Limited resources in both the district attorney’s and public defender’s office also add to the court burden.

And, Harris adds, those have an impact on both victims and defendants. He pushes diversion programs for that very reason — not just for the taxpayer relief (more court delays equal more time in jail taxpayers are paying for as well as the strain it puts on the system).

This isn’t Cveykus’ first run at a judge position — he ran for Third District Appeals Court judge this time last year.

Though Cveykus doesn’t prescribe himself to a partisan ideology and counts people of conservative and liberal leanings amongst his friends, he found himself outgunned financially by a conservative candidate with heavy GOP backing.

Cveykus says he was a bit politically naive in that race.

He assumed he could run a non-political campaign and that would keep politics out of it. So much for that.

Cvekyus points to his endorsements, which are pretty numerous, as evidence of that. He’s got conservatives such as Sheriff Parks and Kevin Hermening, and liberals such as

Both candidates see a strong role of judges in shaping and improving the Marathon County Criminal Justice system.

Cveykus says his ability to sit down with people of all ideologies and political backgrounds, while keeping nonpartisan himself, gives him a leg up. He cites as an example a situation where he learned defendants were spending an extra day in jail — only the first full day was being counted.

The race for school board

Five candidates vie for three seats on the Wausau School Board after a tough couple of years The election for Wausau School Board last time around became a pretty contentious contest.

One group of candidates was referred to as “The American Taliban”; one of the then-current school board members had her personal life scrutinized online. Protests happened outside of school board members’ houses.

The issue was COVID-19 and how to handle it. And it clearly divided people here as it did around the country. The potential dangers of catching COVID-19 were weighed against the achievement gap that was developing as a record number of students received failing grades. Meanwhile student mental health, already a growing concern, seemed to be further deteriorating.

The contentious chatter around last year’s Wausau School Board races seems to be largely absent, or at least not nearly as severe as last year. A recent decision to remove mask restrictions met with little attention and passed unanimously, as cases continue to decline.

Five candidates will vie for three seats. They include three incumbents and two challengers, range in age from 22 to 67, and come from a wide range of backgrounds.

City Pages sent out a series of questionnaires and will attempt to summarize each candidate below. Full responses will be published on City Pages’ website with only light editing for grammar and punctuation. We’ve listed them in the order they appear on the district’s election pulldown item.

JAMES BOUCHE

(incumbent), 67, spent 42 years in education, including 20 as a coach and teacher, and 22 as an administrator. Bouche is running again because he believes it’s his civic duty to give back to the district where his children were educated. And, he feels there is a lot of work for the board to do that was delayed Bouche due to the pandemic. Bouche touts his years in education as giving him a perspective in all areas of education, has a passion for reluctant learners and children with special needs, and has experience overseeing the remodel of two high schools. Bouche feels like he wants to continue to work on the district’s communication with teachers, parents, taxpayers, employees and students, and wants to focus on the current achievement gap, for which he’d like to see regular updates.

Bouche cites his work on the Wisconsin Association of School Boards as Region 5 director, his experience starting a charter school and his involvement in the Cooperative Educational Service Agency in helping get professional training for teachers as reasons to choose him for school board.

KAYLEY MCCOLLEY, 22, is the youngest candidate for school board. She currently works as a behavioral health

technician at North Central Health Care. She’s currently attending college for social work, and has a nursing background, earning a CNA license when she was 17. McColley says she doesn’t subscribe to the notion that someone needs to reach a certain age to run for office, and wants to bring her ideas, motivation and passion to the position and advocate for Wausau’s youth. As a graduate of Wausau West after spending her whole life in the district, she feels she would be a voice for the district’s younger folk, as well as minority voices. McColley organized the first-ever Juneteenth celebration last year, as well as Martin Luther King day events, the Black Lives Matter march among others. McColley says she is open to compromise and discussion. She’d like to see greater resources put toward helping students struggling with mental illness, wants to see the district really listen to its educators, and find solutions for updating the district’s facilities despite budget constraints. McColley says the community has a responsibility to amplify and share all voices, and that a vote for her is a vote for inclusivity.

JON CREISHER, 39,

works as a director of strategic partnerships and has four children in the district. Creisher says he’s running again because he cares about the community and wants to see every student have access to a great education.

He wants to see data drive important decisions as the district faces many oncoming

Someone suggested he write a number of writs to spark change; Cveykus said instead he would pick up the phone and talk.

Cveykus says he was able to make that change, not only saving defendants an extra day in jail but saving taxpayer dollars since each day in jail costs about $50/day (a figure that likely has increased with rampant inflation).

Harris says part of his door-to-door work is explaining that he plans to be completely non-partisan from the bench, despite what certain talk show hosts might claim.

The A Community for All debates led people to believe he would be a left-leaning judge. Harris counters that by saying he admired Falstad for the opposite quality: that she approached every courtroom decision from a perspective of being fair and listening to people.

Though he’s had a few people slam doors in his face, largely people have listened. He’s worked especially hard to appeal to rural voters, citing his own family’s background in farming in the Alabama area before his parents moved to Florida.

What everyone would have a hard time denying is that both have a great reason to want to be judge. For Harris, he cites a time when he was four years old and his parents adopted him. Being familiar with church through his family’s background, he recalls the courtroom seemed similar as his father lifting him up to the judge. The judge asked what he wanted and Harris said to have a name like his dad’s. The judge gaveled and made it so. He asked his parents if he’d just spoken to God. They laughed and explained that no, it was the judge of the court. That stuck with him.

For Cveykus, he cites his father. His father has been dealing with dementia for a number of years, and it’s his dream for his father who worked hard all his life to see him sworn in as judge before he’s not around any longer.

Cveykus tears up as he explains this.

Voters will only be able to choose one of them on April 5.

challenges. Creisher touts his experience in engineering and strategic sales, giving him the ability to use critical thinking to analyze situations. He believes his strength is his ability to persevere through difficulty and adversity.

Creisher says the district needs to think outside the box to address the achievement gap and student success. He also highlights the need to address issues every district is facing such as talent shortages and recruitment of teachers with a strategic plan. And he’d like to see greater support of teachers with better tools and skills to help students achieve. Creisher says he first ran last year (to fill a partial term) because he saw a need to be addressed to ensure students could succeed better, and touts his ability to act with professionalism and respect even with those with whom he disagrees.

JOANNA REYES, 35, is a

data entry analyst with two children in the district. Reyes says she joined the race in order to fight for what’s best for hers and other children, and says children’s education should not be a political experiment. Reyes says as someone who grew up in the Los Angeles Unified School District, she Reyes brings the perspective of someone who knows the challenges of growing up in a multi-cultural, multi-lingual household. And through her professional experience, she knows how to listen to the needs of others, adapt to changing technology and maintain fiscal responsibility in constrained environments.

Reyes believes that parental involvement in education is critical, and feels the achievement gap is one of the most pressing issues the district faces. She also highlights the mental health challenges students are facing. She’d like

to see more career prep for younger students to expose them to different opportunities out there. Reyes says she will always put families first, and that it all starts and ends with the children. Reyes says as a parent of young children and as a Latina woman, she would bring a diverse perspective to the board.

JANE RUSCH, 61, is a former state corrections officer whose children attended the district but graduated years ago.

Rusch has served on the board for 15 years, and has a deep knowledge of the district and how the board works. She’s attended workshops, has a small library of books on education Rusch and even finished all the classes for an education degree (though because of her physical health volunteered instead). She wants to keep Wausau a welcoming place so students stay here. Rusch says as a correctional officer she saw firsthand the problems a lack of quality education can bring. Rusch says the work of the board is to balance the needs of all the constituents and ensure the best well-rounded education for the district’s students and a rewarding positive environment for the district’s staff while maintaining acceptable tax levels. Rusch says new voices on the board are important, but so is having seasoned members who know the history and can prevent repeating old mistakes. She points out that the district is on its third superintendent every administrative position has turned over at least once in the time she’s served. She touts her experience on the board, as well as her experience as the parent of two autistic children, giving an insight into the needs of those parents.

TV REViEW

By B.C. Kowalski

Formula 1 Season four is a little jumpy, still a blast There are some shows that, when a new season pops up on Netflix, will prompt me without hesitation to click play.

Formula 1: Drive to Survive is one of those shows.

As I’ve discussed before, Formula 1 represents something of a new genre of television show: the blending of sports and drama. It’s hardly the first. Sunderland or Die (Netflix) was a great early example of this concept. Revolving around the football club of the same name, in a small English city where life practically revolves around the local football team, it’s an inside look at the near collapse and attempted revival of a football club.

Both work for the same reason: you get to know all the big names as real people, see all the drama behind the scenes, and get a sense how a football club or For-

mula 1 team actually works.

Season 4 of Formula 1 is no exception, and is nearly as good as every other season has been so far, with one exception: it’s a little choppy chronologically.

One the challenges of the new season is that it jumps around a little more in time than its predecessors, and one thing that is sacrificed is the sense of moving through the Formula 1 season. It’s been a bit difficult to get a sense of the overall season this time around as we revisit races again and again. Last time the producers used minor flashbacks to bring us into the present, but this time it feels like we jump back and forth a lot in real time. It’s like they don’t trust us to hold multiple storylines in our heads at once.

The effect is, ironically, a bit discombobulating.

But just a bit. Overall, the latest season of Formula 1 is still a blast, with all the great story that comes with it. And after four seasons, most of the characters are

known to viewers who have hung along for trying to make itself irrelevant.

If any sport could use the Formula 1 the ride. It means many of them take less introduction and by now I’ve found myself treatment, it’s baseball. Until then, start your engines. invested in underdogs like Haas and Williams Racing.

That said, if the goal was to get me to watch more Formula 1, it failed in that goal. Now I view the actual sport as a spoiler to the next Netflix season.

Maybe that’s why this format won’t take off afterall.

Then again, maybe there are some sports that could use it. I recently learned that Major League Baseball has been in a labor dispute and a lockout has been READY TO EXPAND YOUR initiated. I found that out from news program BreakBUSINESS OR START ing Points, and otherwise A NEW ONE? would have been clueless.

CONTACT When I was in junior high, there was a lockout EMMERICH PROPERTIES and it’s all anyone would TODAY! talk about. Today, many people probably have no idea it’s even happening.

EARTH TALK

By E Magazine

Coral Reefs Dying At Unprecedented Rates Thanks To Global Warming Dear EarthTalk: How are the world’s coral reefs doing these days? I haven’t heard much about them lately despite all the recent talk about climate change’s ill effects.

—Jo. S., Bowie, MD It’s going to get harder and harder to find Nemo and other clown fish as the world’s living coral reefs become more and more scarce. Credit: George Becker, Pexels Coral reefs are being hit by climate change in just about every way possible. Wildfire, drought and other landbased climate disasters have captured global headlines, but coral reefs have been bleaching at record levels, and as such their future is uncertain. The science of climate change’s impact on coral reefs is simple. As humans pump greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere, the ocean acts as a carbon sink, absorbing carbon dioxide (CO₂) and dissolving it into acid. As a result, ocean acidity has increased by about 25 percent since the early 19th century, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

That acidity is incredibly harmful to coral reefs. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA), ocean acidification “decreases growth rates and structural integrity” of coral skeletons, damaging their ability to support the diversity of life that makes up a reef ecosystem.

One of the most immediate threats to coral is ocean temperature increases. Coral reefs exist only in narrow bands of water that stay within a moderate temperature

range, not too hot or cold. Even moderate temperature increases can cause thermal stress that contributes to coral bleaching and infectious disease. The ocean has warmed 1.3 degrees (F) since the Industrial Revolution, meaning many reefs are stuck in dangerously hot water. The stress on reef creatures has been immense. When coral polyps— small, anemone-like animals that form the living base of reefs—get stressed, they expel the symbiotic algae that grows on them and provides them with nutrients. This is what’s called coral bleaching. With no algae to feed coral and give it its color, the abandoned coral turns white. That doesn’t necessarily mean it’s dead, but with no nutrient supply its ability to grow and fight off diseases is significantly hampered.

Warming water also causes stronger and bigger storms, which can destroy entire reef systems as they pass. Hurricane Dorian hit the Bahamas in 2019 and destroyed 30 percent of the islands’ coral reefs. In 2005, Hurricane Rita caused extensive damage to coral reefs in the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary off the coast of Texas. Research suggests some storms may at times be beneficial for coral reefs by lowering water temperature.

The influx of cool water can reduce heat stress on polyps, according to the Reef Resilience Network. But that temporary relief isn’t enough to make up for long-term warming.

As surface temperatures increase, scientists hope that coral reefs might be able to slowly move themselves into cooler water—or that deep-water reefs already exist undiscovered. Researchers in Tahiti announced in February

2022 that they had found a nearly two-mile-long healthy coral reef in uncharacteristically deep water, leading to speculation that more deep-water reefs might exist in unexplored areas.

Still, the rate of human-caused warming far outpaces the speed at which coral reefs can move. Several start-ups and labs around the world are developing small, humanmade coral systems, which could eventually be deposited in the ocean and grow into full reefs. But that technology is still a long way away. Until then, cutting emissions by driving less, using energy-efficient appliances and divesting from fossil fuel companies is the best way individuals can look out for the future of coral reefs.
