Description: While surveying the reefs of the British Indian Ocean Territory (BIOT) for the Global Reef Expedition, scientific divers from the Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation were there to witness a mass bleaching event in process. This patch reef in the Solomon Island lagoon, was just one of the many reefs we witnessed bleaching in BIOT. Corals were loosing their zooxanthellae and in the process turning a variety of colors, from pure white, to pink, and even shades of blue.
