A vast majority of Samoa's population inhabit the coastal fringes of the islands, thus depending largely on coastal marine resources and ecosystems for daily
Global Climate Change and Coral Bleaching. The ultimate long-term environmental threat to coral reef ecosystems is global climate change that many believe is linked to the dramatic increase of coral bleaching in the past decade. Bleaching
