Abstract

Extensive areas of the subtly colored coral reefs that gird tropical shores have been turning a dazzling white; some stretches of the affected coral have even died. Bleaching may be a call of distress from these complex and highly productive ecosystems, usually emitted when they experience abnormally high seawater temperamies. Do bleached reefs signal global warming?
