Global Warming? How does it effect the coral reefs?

Question

I know that Global Warming can cause corals to bleech and the waters to warm the climate of the water, causing changes in many species habitat. What are some of these species? Specifically fish?

Answer 1

Go to this site "National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration" it gives a lot of information and an assessment of the coral reefs as headline of the day, and while your at it try and research El nino, fisherman were the first to discover the warming trends of the ocean

Answer 2

Well, based on the article that I obtain from the database, Global warming can actually caused the coral reef to bleach and eventually die. It used to happen once in Thailand. It is because it is the living algae that gives the colour of the coral reef. Now when the sea water tempreature gets warmer, These algae will eventually die, casuing the coral reef to bleach...

Answer 3

Does it? The water is already warm. However you may want to investigate ozone depletion, and the damaging effect of increased UV radiation to coral reefs -

Right now the most damaging factors to reefs are far more rapid - shrimping trawlers scraping the bottoms - pollution - and invasive species from ballast water of transport vessels going port to port.

Answer 4

My name is Rafael Lomena. I write from Alicante (Spain). I am independent investigator on the Accelerated Global Heating and want to share with all something that can turn out from interest to fight this phenomenon.
I believe that the main cause of the Accelerated Global Heating is in the great and increasing forest fires that are whipping to the planet in the last years.
