The negative impact of such a lacuna was felt most acutely in 1998 when the massive “bleaching episode” occurred worldwide. During the summer of that year, the sea surface temperature in the tropics rose by 1-2ºC above the seasonal maximum.
As the corals are quite sensitive to temperature changes, they could not survive, leading to ‘bleaching’ (loss of pigmentaztion) and eventual death. The extent of mortality varied between different reef regions in India but was the severest in the Lakshadweep.
Nevertheless this estimate was only in a qualitative sense, since there was no quantitative measurements of the actual live coral cover prior to the bleaching episode.
