  Managing for climate change: incorporating bleaching vulnerability in MPA planning

  Future of Reefs in a Changing Environment, University of Queensland, 2011

  Coral bleaching, a stress condition in corals, happens when the algae that live in the coral’s tissue, providing food and its normal healthy colour, are expelled. When bleached, corals starve, weaken and become more vulnerable to diseases and death.
