A coral reef is a community of living organisms such as plants, fish and more. They are so colorful and home to thousands of fish, making it a wonderful underwater attraction for people to visit. Coral reefs are home to about twenty-five percent of marine life, and each coral reef is home to different types of fish making each one unique. They cover about .01% of the oceans floor and grow best in shallow, warm, sunny and moving water only growing .3cm-10cm yearly.1 Beside the beauty of a coral reef, it’s given humanity help in the science and health field with “new medicines to treat cancer, protection from sunlight and antibiotics to fight infections." Though humans have been very insensitive to this delicate community harming it with oil spills and pollution, making the water toxic. Scientists have not yet finished counting the thousands of different species of plants and animals that use or live in the coral reef. “Coral reefs begin to form when free-swimming coral large attach to submerged rocks other hard services”3 There are three types of coral reefs: fringing reefs, barrier reefs, and atolls. Fringing reefs borders around shorelines and surrounds the island separated only by the water. Barrier reefs are more offshore, usually in an oval shape with a central lagoon. Coral reefs are the largest biological structures on the planet, with the largest being the Great Barrier Reef covering over 2000 kilometers along the east coast of Australia (Focus, 1995)4. This reef is known to be 500,00 to 2.5 million years old and visible from the moon, and roughly half the size of Texas5! For the coral reef to survive and grow properly it needs sunlight, clear water, warm water temperature, clean water and saltwater. Corals depend on the zooxanthellae (algae) that grow inside of them for oxygen and other things, and since these algae needs sunlight to survive, corals also need sunlight to survive6. Clear water is needed to let the sunlight through, the general temperature for corals to survive is 68-90° F. Corals are sensitive to pollution because it can cloud the water and that kills the zooxanthellae, if there is wastewater
