Coral conservation. Combat the source not the symptoms
[1] Many projects are rolled out to help recovering the dead or bleached coral and repopulate the reefs with the newcomers which are more resistant to heat and acid waters. Some solutions endorse replanting of coral other focus on hunting and killing the Crown of Thorns starfish [1] others look for more adaptabile spieces of coral that could replace the dead corals. Though the main circulated source, among researchers, what cause death of corals are bleaching. During bleaching the coral will expel the algae (zooxanthellae) living in their tissues causing the coral to turn completely white [2] . [2] As the algae contribute to 90% of their food the result of bleaching event is starvation to death without the symbiosis of the algae. Another reason is acidic water. As seawater gets more acidic with more carbon dioxide dissolved in it, these creatures might have a harder time making their skeletons and shells [3] . Of course the main reason why bleaching occur is increas...
