<h2>About Yellow band Disease</h2>

<ul>
	<li>Yellow-band disease&mdash;named for the colour it turns corals before destroying them&mdash;was first spotted decades ago and has caused widespread damage to reefs in the Caribbean.&nbsp;</li>
	<li>There is no known cure for this disease and unlike coral, bleaching corals will not be restored once they get infected by this disease.</li>
	<li>Scientists believe overfishing, pollution and rising water temperatures because of climate change may be making the reefs more vulnerable to yellow-band disease.</li>
