Shallow water corals are one of the main reef-building organisms that secrete carbonates as their skeletons, and therefore, are one of the major sinks of CO₂ in the ocean. These reef builders are also very crucial to marine environments and human society. As the global energy demand continues to rise, fossil fuel burning increases at faster pace despite the increase of energy supply using clean and renewable energy. The increase of CO₂ content in the atmosphere have been shown to exacerbate global warming and may cause ocean acidification, threatening the habitat of shallow water corals. Many recent observations show alarming sign of coral bleaching and dying, which is mainly caused by the exceptionally high seawater temperature(>29^oC). However, it is still unclear about the environmental factors that determine habitable environments for shallow water corals, and how they respond to future climate change. In this study, we compiled coordinates of 536424 sites where shallow water corals have been observed from various data sources (including UNEP World Conservation Monitoring Centre, National Coral Reef Monitoring Program, Pacific Reef Assessment and Monitoring Program). Using these coordinates, sea surface temperatures and salinities are extracted from remote sensing data from NOAA, and chemical properties of seawater including pH and saturation state of aragonites can be derived using PHREEQC. We then statistically determined the favorable living conditions for shallow water corals, which provide important implications for their fate during global warming.
