They lose their<br \/>symbiotic algae \u2013 living in their tissue &#8211; that produce food for their host,<br \/>placing big stress on the coral polyps. Without this algae, corals lose their<br \/>\u201enormal\u201d yellowish-brown colouration and they turn white, which is the colour of<br \/>their skeleton. Coral colonies can die or be more vulnerable to other threats<br \/>such as infectious disease if the bleaching is severe.<br \/>Ocean acidification is a change in ocean chemistry in response to the<br \/>uptake of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Because atmospheric<br \/>concentrations of CO2 increase so do oceanic concentrations.<br \/>Carbon dioxide entering seawater reacts to form carbonic acid, causing<br \/>an increase in acidity and this compound reduces coral growth.<br \/>Also, sea level rise increased the frequency and intensity of tropical storms,<br \/>and altered ocean circulation patterns can also affect or destroy coral<br \/>reefs. Strong storms can break the corals themselves but they can cause<br \/>sedimentation. As sediment deposits onto reefs can decrease with their<br \/>ability to feed, grow, and reproduce.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coral reefs are in danger (non-human factors)The greatest global threats to coral reefs are the increased oceantemperatures and changing ocean chemistry because of increasinglevels of carbon dioxide in seawater.Warming temperature causes thermal stress to corals.
