END CORAL BLEACHING! Imagine a ocean without an marine life. This could become reality if we don't do something to stop it. Many of you may not know what coral bleaching is. Coral bleaching is when the water is too warm due to global warming, pollution and ocean acidification. This starts to take out the nutrients and color of the coral reefs and provide the marine life with no home, no food, and no shelter. The reefs protect coastlines from the damaging effects of wave action and tropical storms. When a coral bleaches, it is not dead. Corals can survive a bleaching event, but they are under more stress and are subject to mortality! WE can do something about it.
