Ocean acidification causing coral 'osteoporosis' on iconic reefs ... Animals that rely on calcium carbonate to create their skeletons, such as corals, are at risk as ocean pH continues to decline (become more acidic). Ocean acidification targets the density of the skeleton, silently whittling away the coral's strength, much like osteoporosis weakens bones in humans. 2, record 1, English, - coral%20osteoporosis

Les magnifiques couleurs des coraux proviennent souvent des êtres qui vivent en symbiose avec eux (la symbiose est une association de dépendance mutuellement profitable entre deux êtres). [...] Le blanchissement des coraux révèle une rupture de ce fragile équilibre symbiotique : lorsque les coraux perdent leurs zooxanthelles, leurs tissus se décolorent tant qu'ils laissent apparaître leur squelette blanc de carbonate de calcium. 1, record 4, French, - blanchissement%20corallien
