The world's coral reefs will be devastated by warming tropical oceans which will `bleach' them white and kill many within the next 30 years, unless projected levels of climate change are stopped, says a Greenpeace report. The report Climate Change, Coral Bleaching and the Future of the World...
Coral reefs take centuries to grow. 2 Some threats are natural. Storms bring giant waves that can destroy coral to bits and pieces. When heavy rains wash soil off the land, the soil ends up in the water, and it blocks out the sunlight that coral need to grow. Other threats, such as...
