Coral Reefs Coral reefs are one of the most biologically diverse ecosystems on the planet. “ Coral reefs cover an area of less than a quarter of one percent of all the earth ’s marine environment‚ yet they are one of the world ’s most diverse habitats‚ supporting one third of all fish species‚ and have been growing in the world ’s oceans for 450 million years”(Taylor). Although the coral reef ecosystems are such a small part of our planet they provide millions of jobs‚ food‚ and perhaps most importantly

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”

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 such as warmer-than-average waters for an extended period of time. The corals‚ which are actually little organisms called coral polyps‚ expel the algae that lend them their color and provide them with food‚ giving the coral a bleached appearance.
