Title: May
Description: Ocean warming resulting from increasing concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is causing coral bleaching, thereby threatening the health of the world’s coral reefs. These fragile ecosystems are extremely important for biodiversity, providing a home to over 25% of all marine life, and for human livelihoods, especially in developing countries.
