Coral bleaching primarily affects the biodiversity of the water. When corals bleach, they expel the symbiotic algae (zooxanthellae) that live in their tissues, leading to a loss of vibrant colors and harming the entire marine ecosystem that depends on healthy coral reefs. This ultimately affects various species of fish and other marine life that rely on coral reefs for habitat and food.
