Short summary
Short summary
Exposed fossil reefs from Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao reveal that during the Last Interglacial (~125,000 years ago), reefs thrived on both windward and leeward coasts. However today, living reefs are mostly confined to the sheltered leeward coasts. We tie this dichotomy to weaker trade winds and calmer seas in the southern Caribbean at the onset of the Last Interglacial. This contrast highlights how changing ocean and wind patterns have substantially shaped reef resilience through time.
