Coral Reefs And Climate Change Resource Iucn Coral reef ecosystems are in trouble. about 20% of the world’s coral reefs have already been lost, and that number may climb to 50% in the next 20 to 40 years. the main culprits are pollution, overfishing, and climate change. in this activity, you will use satellite data to determine threats to coral reef ecosystems from warming ocean water. Coral bleaching is an observable consequence of global warming caused by human activities. the symbiotic relationship between a coral polyp and its symbiotic algae is threatened by higher water temperature. the increased mortality of coral polyps and the bleaching of coral reefs are consequences of sustained periods of elevated water temperature.

Module 1: section 2 mass coral bleaching 7 . forecasts, indicate whether sea temperatures will increase or decrease in coming days and weeks. our understanding of mass bleaching suggests that the future condition of coral reefs will be largely influenced by two factors: (1) the rate and extent of sea temperature increases; and (2) the. Coral restoration in florida keys national marine sanctuary. students will research the ecology of coral reefs, natural and anthropogenic threats to corals, and the science of coral restoration. in pairs, students will design and make an argument for a proposed new coral nursery to be placed within florida keys national marine sanctuary (fknms). Ask students to discuss why coral reefs are at risk, and what they think can or should be done to reduce or eliminate the negative impacts of human activity on coral reefs. there is a strong possibility that a significant part of the current risk to coral reef systems is the result of human activity, particularly as it relates to global warming.

Threats to coral reefs: climate change. increased greenhouse gases from human activities result in climate change and ocean acidification. climate change = ocean change. the world's ocean is a massive sink that absorbs carbon dioxide (co 2). although this has slowed global warming, it is also changing ocean chemistry. Extreme weather events due to anthropogenic global warming are rapidly emerging as major contemporary threats to almost all ecosystems 1. on coral reefs, severe heatwaves trigger episodes of mass.
