CORAL scientists and partners are witnessing severe bleaching of 90-100% of corals in areas with poor water quality as opposed to 60-70% in regions where we have implemented strategies to ensure reefs have clean water to thrive. ![Coral Bleaching - Photo by Valentina Cucchiara - CORAL](https://go.coral.org/hubfs/Campaigns/EOY%20Campaign%202023/Landing%20Page/Coral%20Bleaching%20-%20Photo%20by%20Valentina%20Cucchiara%20-%20CORAL.jpg) ![Coral Bleaching - Photo by Valentina Cucchiara - CORAL](https://go.coral.org/hubfs/Campaigns/EOY%20Campaign%202023/Landing%20Page/Coral%20Bleaching%202%20-%20Photo%20by%20Valentina%20Cucchiara%20-%20CORAL.jpg) ![Coral-Bleaching-Valentina-Cucchiara](https://go.coral.org/hubfs/Campaigns/EOY%20Campaign%202023/Landing%20Page/Coral-Bleaching---Valentina-Cucchiara.jpg) ![Coral-Bleaching--Photo-by-Valentina-Cucchiara-CORAL](https://go.coral.org/hubfs/Campaigns/EOY%20Campaign%202023/Landing%20Page/Coral-Bleaching-3---Photo-by-Valentina-Cucchiara---CORAL.jpg) ## Invest in the Future of Coral Reefs Make a donation to the Coral Reef Alliance.
