Threats to Coral Reefs Coral Reefs US EPA
Global Threats to Coral Reefs. Increased ocean temperatures and changing ocean chemistry are the greatest global threats to coral reef ecosystems. These threats are caused by warmer atmospheric temperatures and increasing levels of carbon dioxide in seawater. As atmospheric temperatures rise so do seawater temperatures.
