Excessive amounts of nitrogen have been documented in tissue samples of bleached corals. Global warming plays a role by warming the potpourri of pollution found in our oceans which causes algal blooms, coral diseases and eventually bleaching. We must reduce the nitrogen overload on our planet caused by fossil fuel emissions and the overuse of fertilizers and pesticides if we want to see coral survive into the next decade.
