This number includes over 4,000 species of fish, 700 species of coral, and thousands of other plant and animal forms of life (Cesar, et al.). A single coral reef at its prime contains tens of thousands of species, housing some of the most dense and diverse communities of vertebrate animals in the world. Unfortunately, with the destruction that they face, very few coral reefs still resemble this condition, with corals and fishes less abundant than they were a few decades ago. Since we didn’t start studying coral reefs until they were already degrading, we aren’t sure about the historical biological baseline…

Population declines, warmer temperatures, and ocean acidification are caused by climate change, which in turn is thought to be caused by humans.…
