    so this isn't really irony.
    They where there to see what damage global warming was doing to the coral. And they damaged it themselves. Which is ironic.

    It's not ironic, it's tragic.

    It is very ironic: they are an organization that wants to save reefs, and they damage one with their boat!

    It may also be tragic, depending on how much you love reefs.

    What I meant was, actually, that they want to save the world, not only the reefs.
