Coral

worried about damaged coral reefs that are affecting itself and other marine creatures. Other scientists are looking for ways to stop the coral reefs from declining. Some people know what to do but actually do the wrong thing. So, I think it's important that people know and do the right thing. In the next few paragraphs, I will be explaining how we can save coral reefs from getting destroyed. First off, to protect coral reefs, we can reduce ocean pollution. In the text, “New Coral Reefs…

change that the Coral Reefs are not acclimated to live in.The changes and industrializations we bring affects the climate. This problem has been named and clarified as climate change. Since the industrial revolution our climate has changed drastically. Industrial waste is now a necessary problem that collides with our daily life. This lifestyle can be too much for the fragile ecosystems our world holds. The rise of ocean acidification lowers the Ph level, which kills the coral that holds some…

The Elkhorn Coral Mystery 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…

2. Two areas that are experiencing coral bleaching are Hawaii, and Jamaica. Coral bleaching occurs as a result in increased water temperatures that cause the coral to release the algae that they need for food. The reason it is called bleaching is because when this happens, the coral loses all of its color. In Hawaii, the coral reef plays a significant role in protecting the beaches form erosion. If there is beach erosion, it will cost from 250 million to as much as 6 billion dollars to repair…

crucial in order to maintain and ensure the survival of coral reefs all around the world. Without the reefs, there will be significant consequences. According to the Global Coral Reef Monitoring Network, “Approximately five hundred million people depend on the coral reefs.” This dependence varies from things such as a source of food, protection from the vicious storms coming in from the oceans, tourism, and many more services. Without the coral reefs, millions of people would lose their jobs.…

CORAL REEF DIVING IS AN ALL-TIME FAVORITE TO MOST SCUBA DIVERS. BUT LIKE IT OR NOT, SCUBA DIVERS ARE CAUSING SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO THE WORLD’S CORAL REEFS. Scientific evidence shows that divers are directly and/or indirectly responsible for damaging the reef life with some of their thoughtless behaviors. Not to say that all divers are harming reef life intentionally. But due to some divers’ lack of proper training, it is done unknowingly at times. Coral reef diving possesses some unique…

The devastation of both coral reefs and kelp forests can vary in strength depending on their biogeography. After the initial acute event that wipes out either the reef or the forest occurs, it is usually the water quality or fish population that determines whether they can recover. Both these processes’ strength depends on where they occur, and the biogeography of the area they are in. Coral reefs that are not located by a ravine run off do not have the issue of sewage, or fertilizer run offs.…

The focus of the documentary is on the destruction of the world’s coral reefs and the part that humans are playing within that destruction and the rebuilding of the reefs. The documentary mainly follows an English artist/sculptor call Jason Taylor and his work within the community of Cancun, Mexico to help rebuilt a coral reef there through the use of statues to create an artificial reef which benefits the local ecosystem greatly. The documentary has a particularly poignant message for the role…

For 16 years, scientists wondered just what had happened with corals in the Florida Keys. In this time period, over half of the corals had perished. They later discovered that the greatest decline was in elkhorn coral. Finally, research showed that the massive coral disappearances were caused by a disease by the name of white pox. The scientists have solved the elkhorn coral mystery using the scientific method - by making observations, conducting experiments, and drawing conclusions. Initially,…

As scuba diving becomes more popular, there is a growing concern about the impact it will have on coral reefs. In Cancun, Mexico the closure of the natural reef, Manchones, was being considered to protect it against human impacts, such as scuba diving and pollution, instead the artificial reef, MUSA, was created to offer an alternative attraction for tourists. MUSA is an underwater museum that aims to combine art and conservation through the submersion of sculptures. The aim of the study was…
