Despite the protective measures the Belize Barrier Reef has been affected by two mass-bleaching events. When coral bleaching occurs, a large part of the coral dies, and the remaining part of the ecosystem begins the process of repairing the damage. But the chances of recovery is low, as corals that are bleached become much more vulnerable to disease. Disease often kills more corals than the bleaching event itself. With continuous bleaching, the coral reef will have little to no chance of recovery. http://www.travelamerica360.com/belize-barrier-reef-defined.html
