We tried all the natural sunscreens and even when we applied them every 1/2 hour they still didn’t work. When we went to Hawaii we broke down and got the full on chemical ones and no one got burned.Possibly, the article seems to think that the oxy(whatever) combining with the corals doesn't allow them to adjust to temperatures as much, and as a result the temperature yes does kill them. But not sure if that's a proven fact, or if it's just chasing the tail of what is shown to be the problem then blaming something else as a reason for why they can't adjust.
That said, I'm white AF, so I'm going to put sunscreen on at every beach I go to

Hawaii passed a similar law banning the worst of the same sunscreens (oxybenzone and octinoxate) starting in 2021.We tried all the natural sunscreens and even when we applied them every 1/2 hour they still didn’t work.

That’s funny. We do use rash guards and other such swim clothing. The only parts we really have to worry about are the kids’ faces.
I thought the idea that sunscreen was causing coral deaths was debunked. That Netflix coral documentary (it was posted on here a while ago but I forgot what it’s name is) blamed the increase in water temperature for mass coral death.
Yes, that’s the name of it.Chasing Coral?
