Description:"This study examines the relationship between coral bleaching and protective compounds in coral (mycosporine-like amino acids) and the water column (chromophoric dissolved organic matter). We have also identified the zooxanthellae symbionts present in the coral species surveyed, in order to better understand contributing endogenous bleaching tolerance. MPA placement and management may be directed by the natural resilience generated by variation in concentrations of these protective compounds"--Intro.
