I got my B.Sc Marine Science from Diponegoro University, Indonesia. My research for bachelor thesis was about coral genetic diversity using DNA markers at Raja Ampat, West Papua.

Bleaching

Bleaching occurs when corals expel their symbiotic zooxanthellae - pigmented, algae-like protozoa that live within the coral's cells. High temperature, pollution or other stresses can cause the coral to expel its zooxanthellae, leading to a lighter or complete loss of color.
