This article discusses the evident problem concerning the effects of climate change on coral reefs. The gradual warming of our climate results in coral bleaching, which proves fatal for coral reefs. Interestingly seen in Figure 2, there’s a drop in temperature from June to September, and then the temperature steadily rises from October to May. This oscillation in temperature change is due to how well-mixed the water column is. In the colder months, the water column is mixed more thoroughly than when compared to the warmer months. After recording temperature measurements and observing occurred bleaching, it was determined that the hopeful fate of the coral reefs depends on climate change and how it is affecting water conditions. This article succeeds in displaying the dire effects that accompany climate change, and how we, as a society, need to come up with a solution as to sustain our ecosystem. Climate change affects numerous animals and organisms—from the polar bears to the coral reefs. Without immediate intervention, future generations may never be able to actually see coral reefs in their natural habitats.

You could include a brief
You could include a brief explanation of what coral bleaching is. Also, in the second sentence you should specify what you are talking about: what is it that is experiencing these temperature changes?
suggestion
Avoid passive voice- "was determined"
Comment 3
Well-mixed is not a very scientific word. Maybe change it to "This oscillation in temperature change is correlated with the mixing of the water column."
