Coral reefs

Warmer water temperatures brought on by climate change affect corals because they are very sensitive to changes in temperature. If water temperatures stay higher than usual for many weeks, the zooxanthellae they depend on for some of their food leave their tissue. Without zooxanthellae, corals turn white because zooxanthellae give corals their color.

                                                   This with the effect of climate change.

This is how corals where before climate change, they were really colourful and nice.
We need to stop climate change because corals are a natural thing and they need to be protected.


Here is a link if you want to know more information about how climate change affects corals.
