The bacterial cell membrane can be targeted for killing it. Inhibition of the synthesis of the components of cell wall will not allow the bacteria to grow.
The genetic material of the bacteria- DNA can be targeted. When DNA is cleaved, or damaged, then the bacteria will die.
The cellular components of the bacteria may be targeted. If a organelle, or a component is responsible for production or transport of proteins, and it is targeted by anti-bacterial compound, then protein synthesis machinery of bacteria will stop working, and it will not be able to perform a number of functions, and eventually die.

AlladinOne [14]
B. Reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, as it exchanges with the ocean and is making it more acidic. Non-native species could become invasive, algae is generally not reabsorbed by the corals after bleaching, and calcium carbonate, although necessary for corals, would not reduce bleaching and could potentially contribute to it.
