Coral bleaching and global climate change: Scientific findings and policy recommendations
Article Abstract:
The repercussions of the 1998 mass bleaching and mortality events are far-reaching. Human populations dependent on reef services face losses of marine biodiversity, fisheries and shoreline protection. Coral bleaching events are likely to become more frequent and severe as the climate continues to be warm, exposing coral reefs to an increasingly hostile environment.
