Since the 1980s, the phenomenon of coral bleaching has become more frequent, widespread and severe. Global climate change appears to be the main cause. Long periods of unusually warm sea temperatures in 1998 led to wide-scale bleaching of coral reefs in the Indian Ocean, the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. Bleached corals expel their symbiotic algae and become susceptible to disease and overgrowth by other kinds of algae. In the Seychelles Islands in the western Indian Ocean, coral reefs were particularly hard hit by bleaching, and more than 90 per cent of corals died.
