Look at the magic of a coral reef. It's jewel bright fish, the waving plants, the wild coral. It seems as if it is safe from any threat.
But in reality it is not. Why? Because people are polluting and killing the coral. And if the coral's gone, the fish, plants, and all other life on the reef is gone. Possibly gone for good.
You can do your bit. While scientists are preserving the reefs, as well as they can, you can be making sure to help the environment. It might just help keep the reefs around for longer.
How are polluting kill the coral?
ReplyDeletejt,
ReplyDeleteCorals live near the top of their heat tolerance. By polluting we are thinning our atmosphere, the waters will get to hot for the corals, then they will die.
Thanks Togrette, U rock! By the way. what good is coral can do for us?
ReplyDeletejt,The corals can help us see how much of an imprint on the environment humans have, and corals are homes to many species of fish. Those fish couldn't survive without the coral, and when one species dies, that can lead to another species dying, which, in time, could lead to our deaths too.
