Elevated sea surface temperatures and/or increased ultraviolet radiation are the most common factors involved.) Reefbase, Apr. 3, 2007 (Coral bleaching can be caused by stressful environmental conditions such as extreme temperature, low salinity, extreme light and various toxins. However, large scale bleaching episodes are usually associated with unusually high sea temperatures.) Wikipedia, Apr. 3, 2007 (Coral bleaching is a vivid sign of corals responding to stress, primarily increased water temperatures.) Coral reef bleaching WWW site, Oct. 4, 2007. |
