This volume covers the causes and consequences of coral bleaching in various geographical regions. The analysis spans from individual colonies to larger ecosystems and also discusses how it can be detected and quantified. Future scenarios are probed.

Provides synthesis of current scientific knowledge on coral reef resilience and resistance to bleaching, and highlights resilience and resistance factors and some knowledge gaps. Discusses tools and strategies to enhance resilience, including the use of well-designed networks of marine protected areas and integrated coastal management.
