Due to global warming, the frequency of coral bleaching is expected to continue to increase (Baker et al., 2008; Spillman et al., 2013) Numerous coral reefs in around the world are exposed to coral bleaching rather than just one coral reef. Coral bleaching can have a devastating effect on a region's tourism industry and can cause not only coral mortality, but also the death of other animals that depend on coral for survival. Higher ocean temperatures not only cause more frequent coral bleaching, but may increase other threats to coral survival. Furthermore, repeated bleaching increases the possibility of fatal bleaching events (Baker et al., 2008). Additionally, although corals have survived higher sea temperatures in the past, there are many other factors that contribute to coral bleaching. The recovery of corals depends on the frequency with which bleaching events occur and global warming increases this phenomenon and worsens the conditions for reproduction, essential for survival. Coral bleaching due to global warming is more of a concern to many people
