"This research advances our understanding of coral restoration and provides an invaluable tool to help address the ongoing ...

A study led by the University of Bremen suggests that on algae-dominated coral reefs, it is not the algae but the corals ...

Deep beneath the waves of Southeast Asia lies an extraordinary region of unparalleled biodiversity known as the Coral ...

Acropora corals are also known to harbor Symbiodiniaceae, a family of algae that creates nutrients for the coral by converting sunlight into energy by way of photosynthesis. In exchange ...

The development has been revealed just months after Australia saw its third mass bleaching event in five years, amid record-high ocean temperatures at the Great Barrier Reef, as The Guardian ...

It requires diving down to brush the sensitive corals to clean them of algae, and pruning them regularly. After the 2018 ban came in, however, Mr Supriyatno wasn't able to pay the staff anymore ...

A new study published in Marine Resource Economics, led by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), examines the correlation between fish yield and live coral habitats. Researchers analyzed ...

High ocean temperatures cause coral bleaching, which results from the disruption of the relationship between corals and their symbiotic algae, an increasing concern as global temperatures rise.

The researchers found that many corals and other calcifying organisms showed greater resilience, partly because crustose coralline algae thrived under the future ocean conditions and became more ...

These algae also contribute to coral's vibrant colors. Elevated ocean temperatures stress corals, causing them to expel the algae, resulting in bleaching. If warming persists, the algae may not ...

Corals can become stressed by changes in ocean temperature, and their reaction is to expel the algae that lives within them. The algae gives a reef its colour, and when it’s gone, just the white ...
