Many scientist that discover water know what elkhorn coral is. Many scientist also wonder what kills the elkhorn coral well, I'm here to tell you. Scientist believe the human waste that's in the water kills the coral. In my opinion I feel that the human waste is a killer to the coral. Many people swim in the water, they could have diseases and sicknesses that could kill the coral. The environment that the coral lives in could be dirty with all of the bacteria that grows in the ocean.
The scientist infer that it is not only humans but it's animals too. In source #1 paragraph #10 it states, ' We could only speculate that human waste was the source of pathogen because it's also found in wastes of other animals."
