Infographic showing how climate change damages coral reefs. Algae lives under the epidermal tissue of healthy coral in a symbiotic relationship, feeding the coral and giving it vibrant colour. When sea temperatures rise, corals expel the algae, causing the coral to lose its colour and its nutrients, a process called 'bleachinga'. Without its food source, the coral slowly dies. | |
