How corals lose their colour

[iLOVENATURE2011]

here in our place, we leave areas for sanctuaries...meaning that fishing in that area is strictly prohibited....

[OlCapitain]

This voice is a computer program. I have a program that sounds just like this, in an Australian accent too. Please vote up so everyone stops saying how much they hate her voice.

EDUCATION IS THE KEY TO SAVING OUR REEFS. The Aquarium of Niagara (Niagara Falls, NY) is in the running for a grant through the Pepsi Refresh Project. The goal is to build an educational reef display, as well as start a coral propagation program. In order to get the grant they need people to vote for their project.

You can vote by texting 102344 To: 73774 (PEPSI) or get more info by searching "Niagara Reef" on Facebook.

[JustB3NJI]

I thought that there were predators which cause this problem too. I'm pretty sure theres a large starfish which leaves coral in the same state. Anyone know?

[LimpitsReef]

Who cares about the pronunciation or pleasant tone of voice. This video is very informative to those people who do not understand just how important corals and their reefs are to our planet earth.

[chesterngiamzhenghao]

probably bcoz the water and its pressure washed the fake paint away lol

[quosmo1]

australian voice this time

[redcherries1313]

This is such an important and concerning topic and people are posting dumb comments about the pronunciation. You guys really missed the point of the video. Its alarming the levels of ignorance. Thats why the world is how it is !!

[undeadaura]

Nerd xD

[203495203495]

wtf you talk like how it talks when u type a comment on youtube and click on audio preview o_O

[JudiG]

That's because it is digital language. The clue was the way it pronounced "algae" with a hard "g".

[CanadianChameleons]

Many areas of the world pronounce it that way.

[wavefool]

Agricultural runoff:

I Been screaming at Maui's HC&S for allowing runoff to reach the ocean for over 10 years now. The reefs at Hookipa, H-poco, and at Lanes are dead. Enough of the global warming bullshit, it has distracted people to the point of quitting work on the problems with simple solutions and bracketed them all under the heading of "we can't fix it" and walked away. The state of fear is alive and well, the reefs however......

[tellthetruth811]

the al gee

[darfunkelidas]

LOL the voice

[afbb125]

ur a retard

[HeroFlame]

no I think "it" made every sentence sound like she was... surprised in a sarcastic way.. can't describe it, it just didn't sound right xD

[prhughes0]

The narration sounds, to me, like a text-to-speech machine "generated" voice. Seriously.

If so, it seems very good. If not, it is a very good simulation therof. Actually, i would really like to know....

[xTnT87]

Globalization...

[Paxmax]

Whoa... like many others I too did not like the voiceover work on this bit!

Corals are fascinating though.

[VerboseVindication]

Her intonation suuuuuuuuuucks, christ.

[GoGoserGo]

zuzantelli bleachin'

[greengronirandom]

Her voice is just as annoying as the last woman.

[morethansalt]

There has to be SOMEONE at New Scientist who can speak in a pleasant tone with clarity and warmth, no?

[tudoralexe]

wow, i didnt know these facts about corals.

[Twinkiest]

I did, there have been specials on nat. geo and what not.

[tudoralexe]

and you really felt the urge to tell me that??

[Twinkiest]

.....Yeah, I very smert.

[Meadowseal]

Ummm, it is spelled "smart".

[threelegduck]

so the zeusenthilli are algae that grow at this characteristic temperature range and kill off plants who would like to invade the coral right? why can't we breed a zeusenthilli that can like in warmer waters? and why don't they exist in the first place .. i mean how many mutations could it take?

[moara]

The zooxanthellae just feed the coral, it's only if the coral dies of starvation that the other plants take over.

There are zooxanthellae that are resistant to whatever stress causes bleaching, and they could colonize the bleached coral, but like any natural process it takes time, and any direct human intervention would likely throw the whole system out of balance.

[frankie6092]

I'm curious about what type of material did the diver use when he wrote something.

[moara]

Waterproof paper

[frankie6092]

and a waterproof pen?

[moara]

waterproof paper and a pencil.

[Hez0]

Nice voice over!

[LoveandEqualityToAll]

must save the world. the voice is good.

[gigantul]

it's definitely a computer voice.

[thCozarrd]

Sounds like a computer voice.

[trotroy]

The narrator is terrible, her tone of voice are sound the same...

but still interesting information

[Inconnubeing]

Interesting, but please get someone else to speak next time. That hurt my head.

[MuglyTheWorm]

this sounds like ringo's sister talking, lol

[Gwynkek]

lol

[Clausfarre]

Look out for lots of coral in the next episode of Pale Force.

[MistMrE]

hahahahahahaha your voice hahahahahaha

[AuthenticPunkDance]

That voice is terrible. :S

[hamsterhill]

lol... the new narrarators like a robot

[2013andBeyonD]

It is a robot.

[Abbelin]

thats soooooo lame... global warming ruins everything, even cool fish... THEY MUST BE STOPPED!

[ChatterMic]

This doesn't explain why lettuce is green,

FUCK!

[dingdongfxck]

rofl!

[ErIcoAwEsoMo]

i dont really like the voice

[alexwoodbitches16]

@ErIcoAwEsoMo yeh she sounds like she is a news reporter :/ lol

[otrobutcher]

I think that voice is computer generated.

[TrekkieAtlantis]

interesting:)

[soulhunger1]

The narrator wasn't that great, but it was educational. I guess that's what counts.

[rovrola]

bad delivery

[funlovingmonkey]

holy shit that guy was writing underwater!

[Abbelin]

yeah, they developed that in like the eighties or something like that.

[anthonym2121]

I learnt this in paleo....oh the zooxanthellae

[Giraffepotamus]

haha i just learned this in marine bio

thats a fun word to say "zooxanthellae"

[juaneezy19910209]

omg GLOBAL WARMING!!!

[singlespies]

That sounded almost like a computer voice narrator. Every sentence had exactly the same ascending-and-descending musical arc. Every sentence was spoken in the same pitch, with the same stresses, and even the same "notes." I had trouble following what she was saying because of the delivery.

[cacho29mx]

So sad, makes me wonder just what our grandchildren will see...

[Izwat]

the future well allways be better then the past

[fucksatanism]

The future will not always be better than the past.

[funlovingmonkey]

what? how?

[Abbelin]

global warming maybe?

[Salladsdressing]

Yeah but the thing we are forgetting here is that warmer temperatures are also going to mean that areas that were to cold for coralls to live in are now a perfect habitat for coralls. So they will just move further north.

However, this isn't something that can keep on going forever but it's not something you should panic about either.

We should stop spending money on that idiotic Keyoto protocol and pump in money in R&D for renewable energy.

[Izwat]

do you think it will always be the same? or things well get worse then they are now sick people dying from different kinds of desises hunger and world poverty war guns cops usa china russia presidents money struggle for living home food it wont be the same as it is right now 20years forword in to our future this whole global warming disaster well make thing change in future want more education on how the change well happen just search for the Venus Project on youtube.

[randomae]

they teach this in middle school.

[chakkeramon]

well..umm..atleast the narrator seemed exited lol, Anywho knoledge is knoledge.

[Username2322]

knowledge

[chakkeramon]

O..ya right lol

[BadMouton]

wont they just adapt?

[Izwat]

yes but not in our life time

[Username2322]

the dead can't adapt, assuming the 10% still survive and are more resilent to the temperature change, they may produce offspring that are better adapted. but until then, the 90% of the coral will make the reef a very barren place

[ccaptorchen]

lol you guys keep complaining about the voice of that British women,now they just use a robot voice. good going...

[maxwoob]

LOL...the voice has no emotion

[Cipri]

global warming!!
