Coral bleaching primarily affects the biodiversity of the water. When corals experience bleaching, they expel the symbiotic algae (zooxanthellae) living in their tissues, which not only affects the corals themselves but also the many species that rely on coral reefs for habitat and food, leading to a decline in biodiversity.
