Researchers are selectively breeding corals that show higher thermal tolerance to survive future warming. CoralReef.7z

To combat these threats, marine biologists are employing several "active" restoration methods: Reefs are the primary protein source for over

Rising Sea Surface Temperatures (SST) lead to the breakdown of the coral-algal symbiosis. When temperatures exceed a coral's threshold for a prolonged period, the zooxanthellae are expelled, leaving the white calcium carbonate skeleton visible—a process known as bleaching. 3.2 Ocean Acidification Increased atmospheric CO2cap C cap O sub 2 the zooxanthellae are expelled
