Anyone that's snorkeled or dived 30 years ago vs now has seen the stark difference. Places that were vibrant and full of color are lucky to have shades of brown with very few exceptions. Coral is dead, dying or unhealthy and it so upsetting to see it even from a few years ago. There's this movement of last-chance tourism around this as reefs begin to fade away into bleached deserts.
