On Hawaiian reefs, the fast-growing, invasive algae Gracilaria salicornia overgrows coral heads, restricting water flow and light, thereby smothering corals. Field data shows hypoxic conditions (dissolved oxygen (DO(2)) < 2 mg/L) occurring underneath algal mats at night, and concurrent bleaching...
