CORAL BLEACHING

This is a close-up photograph of bleached hard coral (Acropora sp.) in Loke Bay, Madagascar taken on April, 2010. Coral bleaching can be caused by a number of stressful environmental conditions including temperature rise and ocean acidification that may result in depressed growth or increased mortality. Bleaching refers to the loss of color caused by the expulsion of dinoflagellate algae of the genus Symbiodinium (also known as zooxanthellae) in corals. (AP Photo/Keith A. Ellenbogen)
