Human activity, however, poses serious threats to these ecosystems. Overfishing can unbalance predator-prey relationships, while coastal development often increases sedimentation, which smothers coral colonies. Moreover, climate change has caused ocean temperatures to rise, triggering widespread coral bleaching. Interestingly, some corals can recover if stressors are temporary, but repeated exposure often results in permanent damage. Researchers are experimenting with coral gardening, where frag
