Role of plankton every 3rd co2 molecule humans exhale, go into ocean. They create oxygen, half the total produced by all plants. Too much co2 coming in, warming up the sea.

Zooxanthellae single celled plants found in plankton. Z gives food due to photosynthesis to coral. Coral = +nutrients to secrete the calcium skeleton. Corals stop giving nutrients to z due to bleaching, Z helps form the coral but unable to do that and no photosynthesis so corals bleach.

Unable to produce, coral cannot give their end of the bargain.
