As the climate changes‚ coral bleaching is predicted to become more frequent and severe. Sea temperature increases and coral stress from other impacts may increase corals’ vulnerability to bleaching. As part of its Reef Health Incident Response System‚ the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority has a Coral Bleaching Response Plan for detecting and responding to coral bleaching on the Great Barrier Reef. What is coral bleaching Many types of coral have a special symbiotic relationship with a

Killing the Great Barrier Reef by Kacey Deamer This article is reliable because it is only four days old and from a reliable website. It is also reliable because I found other articles supporting the data presented in this article. This article is about how global climate change is killing the Great Barrier Reef. This article is about how scientists have returned to the Great Barrier Reef to measure the coral bleaching that has occurred this summer. Coral Bleaching is when corals are stressed from phenomena

Honors 31 May 2011 Coral Bleaching What is Coral bleaching? Coral bleaching is the whitening of corals due to expulsion or death of the protozoa’s pigment. The corals that form the structure of reef ecosystems of tropical seas depend upon a symbiotic relationship with unicellular protozoa‚ called zooxanthellae‚ which live within their tissues. Zooxanthellae give coral its coloration. Under stress‚ corals may release their zooxanthella‚ which causes the coral to look white or “bleached”

Conserve Our Coral Reefs Before Its Too Late? The International Union for Conservation of Nature’s latest report warns that half of the coral reefs could disappear by 2045. Coral reefs are diverse ecosystems that support different kinds of fish species and other organisms under the sea. They are home to as many as 150‚000 species in any given coral reef (Harris 1060). They are located in warm‚ shallow‚ and tropical marine waters where there is enough sunlight available for the coral reefs to thrive

Reefs numbered whole area of 2.01 km. the coast of Queensland. The simple marine animals called corals inhabit the Great Barrier Reef for more than a thousand years. 3‚000 is the number of individual coral reefs‚ plus 300 small coral islands‚ forming the largest structure in the world‚ composed of living organisms. This intricate coral formations has an area
