The major causes of this decline include physical destruction from tropical cyclones, stress caused by warmer ocean temperatures, poor water quality and predation by the crown-of-thorns starfish. Increased sedimentation and nutrients can cause higher algal growth, build-up of pollutants in sediments and marine species, and reduced light and smothered corals.
