Coral Reef Destruction and Conservation




Out of all the reefs in the world, 10% of them have already been destroyed. But, in such places such as the Phillipines, over 70% of their reefs are now gone while only 5% of their reefs are actually in good condition. We as humans, by polluting, have completely destroyed their environment. Coral Reefs had very specific needs of a specific temperature and a specific cleaness, water pollution causing both as well as global warming causes the huge increase in temperature under the water.
