Coral Bleaching

Coral Bleaching is a physiological stress response of symbiotic corals, characterized by the paling or whitening of coral tissues due to the loss or functional degradation of their endosymbiotic dinoflagellate algae (zooxanthellae) and/or their photosynthetic pigments in reaction to environmental disturbances such as elevated sea temperature, high irradiance, or altered water quality.
