What is Coral Bleaching A Consequence of Thermal Stress - Review about?

Coral bleaching occurs when corals expel the symbiotic algae (zooxanthellae) living in their tissues as a stress response, usually to increased sea temperatures. When the algae are expelled, the corals lose their main food source and turn white. The review discusses how increased sea surface temperatures due to climate change have led to more frequent and severe coral bleaching events. Thermal stress causes oxidative stress in corals and their symbionts, damaging photosystems and triggering bleaching. Turbi
