Why would an increase in ocean temperatures endanger many species that depend on coral as a home and food supply?

Coral reefs have been disappearing because of high temperatures caused by humans. If coral reefs disappeared forever then many species would vanish because their only food source disappeared

Coral reefs are the most important and diverse habitat on the Earth, home to countless species in the oceans from tropical fish to sea cucumbers to dolphins, crabs, shrimp, jellyfish.

Coral reefs play a vital role in the maintenance of the health of the oceans. They are important to cycling the nutrients and water quality, which are essential to all species. If the coral reefs die then this could have a harmful effect on many species including dolphins.

For example, Coral reefs provide support, shelter and food to fish stocks.

Coral reefs provides shelter, grounds, and protection to some marine species.

Coral reefs also have the potential to lead to countless life saving advancements in medicines, possible helping scientist to find better treatments or cures for things like arthritis, viruses, or even cancer.

Increasing carbon dioxide also leads to ocean acidification, where the more acidic water slows coral growth rates and weakens their skeletons.

This can leave the coral reefs vulnerable to other threats and disease and even kill the coral colonies from starvation.
