Islands in French Polynesia. on May 9, 2019 in Moorea, French Polynesia. Major bleaching is currently occurring on the coral reefs of the Society Islands in French Polynesia. The marine biologist teams of CRIOBE are specialists in the study of coral ecosystems. They are currently working on “resilient corals”, The teams of PhD Laetitia Hédouin identify, mark and perform genetic analysis of corals, which are not impacted by thermal stress.
She told me the rise in overall sea temperatures means it cannot support as much marine life as it has in the past, and can disrupt delicate underwater ecosystems.But when the water gets too hot, the corals expel their symbiotic algae in a process known as coral bleaching. If temperatures do not cool down, the corals without algae will die, she explained.
“We know how to manage the oceans,” she told me. “It's more a question of political will and setting time and attention to it.” “If you warm the water, there will be less oxygen in the water for fish,” he explained. “And also, when you increase the temperature, the fish will also need more oxygen to survive.”
