Coral Reefs :
A Coral Reef is a large structure that can go hundreds of feet below sea level and is built by really small animals. They are sometimes very colorful but, when they die they become dull and lifeless. Even though there are large amounts of coral reefs in one place they are in danger because of water pollution and over fishing. We can prevent this by cleaning up the planet and by stopping people from over fishing. Many coral reefs are found in the South Pacific which is like Austaralia and Fiji and they have large amounts there but, they are dying. We also need coral reefs because they are the main source for medicines used for bones and they are also very beneficial towards doctors. If we also save them we will be saving tons of animals that use them for food and shelter. Many coral reefs are hidden below sea level and if we don't start preserving them than we won't be able to study them for more medicines and reasons they are here.
Facts:
Great Barrier Reef is the largest coral reef.
If not helped in a matter of time they could disappear all together in 30 years or so.
Coral Reefs have been around for more than 60 million years.
If we don't save the coral reefs and keep them from dying then many animals that depend on it will die also along with them.
Coral reefs are living creatures although they look like stones and sponges.
