The world’s coral reefs are in peril due to a combination of factors. One major cause is rising sea temperatures, a result of global climate change. This leads to “coral bleaching,” where corals expel the algae living in their tissues and turn white. Another significant contributor is ocean acidification, caused by the absorption of excess carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere, which makes it harder for corals to build their skeletons. Local pressures also play a part. Pollution from land, such as agricultural runoff and plastic waste, can smother reefs, while overfishing disrupts the delicate ecological balance that keeps reefs healthy.
