If water temperatures stay higher than usual for many weeks, the zooxanthellae they depend on for some of their food leave their tissue.]]> 2016-12-12 15:25:49 UTC https://padlet.com/jakem3812/Period_1/wish/143143156 Climate change jake3812 https://padlet.com/jakem3812/Period_1/wish/143143885 Without zooxanthellae, corals turn white because zooxanthellae give corals their color. White, unhealthy corals are called bleached. Bleached corals are weak and less able to combat disease]]> 2016-12-12 15:27:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jakem3812/Period_1/wish/143143885 Exactly what is ocean acidification?Our oceans absorb about a quarter of the carbon dioxide that humans produce by burning fossil fuels each year, and that's changing their basic chemistry. This is particularly bad for creatures with calcium carbonate in their shells or skeletons, like mollusks, crabs, and corals. Acidic water makes it harder for them to grow those shells, so many of them are going to have a hard time surviving as our seas change. jake3812 https://padlet.com/jakem3812/Period_1/wish/143144968 2016-12-12 15:30:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jakem3812/Period_1/wish/143144968 In a future ocean hat continues to absorb excess CO2 from industrial emissions, deforestation, and other human activities, sensitive species could lose their protective shells and eventually die out, while other species that build stronger shells could become dominant.” Source: Ocean acidification: A risky shell game, 6 OCEANUS MAGAZINE Vol. 48, No. 1, 2010 www.whoi.edu/oceanus jake3812 https://padlet.com/jakem3812/Period_1/wish/143146438 2016-12-12 15:34:29 UTC https://padlet.com/jakem3812/Period_1/wish/143146438 Causes jakem3812 https://padlet.com/jakem3812/Period_1/wish/143148851   rise in sea surface temp that is caused by algae and whitens coral]]> 2016-12-12 15:42:03 UTC https://padlet.com/jakem3812/Period_1/wish/143148851 Consequences jakem3812 https://padlet.com/jakem3812/Period_1/wish/143149291 Affects the ability of coral reefs to adjust and provide to certain industrues managment]]> 2016-12-12 15:43:08 UTC https://padlet.com/jakem3812/Period_1/wish/143149291 Strategies jakem3812 https://padlet.com/jakem3812/Period_1/wish/143149772 managment response
