Answer:

The answer is the dropping pH of the ocean

Explanation:

The ocean absorbs tons of carbon dioxide (Co2) from the atmosphere which changes the chemistry of the water. The ocean is naturally Alkaline but, as the oceans absorb Co2 it turns into carbolic acid. This doesn't make the ocean's immediately acidic but it is causing them to be gradually less alkaline.

The coral reefs need the alkaline environment and can feel when the environment changes and when the ocean becomes to acidic for them it kills off the coral.
