Coral Bleaching II

Coral plays an important part on our island reef. For years our island reefs have experience the impact of coral bleaching that is cause by the temperature changers of the water because of the global warming contribution. There were area around Mua that have been affect by this impact, and this prints is my impression of these changers how it went from its beautiful colours to the dead colour of white. But somehow I also now see how this bleaching coral areas are healing it’s own self and naturally propagate itself and developing new coral growth around these areas and bit by bit and turning back into coral forest again.
