Inspired by the sea, gold highlights symbolise the precious nature of the oceans, while bleached coral symbolises the stresses they are under.
Coral bleaching occurs when water is too warm, corals will expel the algae (zooxanthellae) living in their tissues causing the coral to turn completely white. When a coral bleaches, it is not dead. Corals can survive a bleaching event, but they are under more stress and are subject to mortality.
