A global coral bleaching event that began last year has grown to the largest on record, US agency says.

NOAA says 77 percent of the world's reef area has experienced bleaching-level heat stress.

Coral are marine invertebrates made up of individual animals called polyps.

They have a symbiotic relationship with algae that live inside their tissue and provide their primary source of food.
