Coral Bleaching on the Great Barrier Reef and Causes

Abstract

With the increasing problem of global warming, the Earth's environment has been seriously damaged in recent decades, especially the Marine environment. Covering 71 percent of the Earth, the oceans are an important part of the planet, but such a beautiful and rich resource is now in decline. This paper mainly expounds the embodiment of environmental problems in coral reefs (take the Great Barrier Reef as an example). Large numbers of coral reefs are bleaching and dying because of climate change. Nowadays, the problem of severe Marine environment is getting worse and worse, which has aroused people's great attention in the world. The main causes of coral bleaching are rising temperatures, eating crown-of-thorns starfish and acidification. Finally, this paper expounds the damage to the ecological environment and the disasters faced by human beings if coral reefs are lost. In the future, we should do our best to protect coral reefs and prohibit vandalism, pollution and overfishing. And can artificially cultivate, transplant coral reefs, remove coral pests and so on. This article aims to point out the causes of coral bleaching, so that more people can realize the crisis we are facing, and call on people to take small steps to protect our only planet.
