Coral reefs are under stress around the world. In particular, coral mining, agricultural and urban runoff, pollution (organic and inorganic), overfishing, blast fishing, disease, and the digging of canals and access into islands and bays are localized threats to coral ecosystems. Broader threats are sea temperature rise, sea level rise and pH changes from ocean acidification, all associated with greenhouse gas emissions. In 1998, 16% of the world's reefs died as a result of increased water temperature.

Coral reefs on land provide lime for use as building blocks ("coral rag"). Coral rag is an important local building material in places such as the East African coast.

Coral reefs are formed due to the calcium carbonate secretion of the corals. Corals are colonies of tiny microscopic organisms that are called as polyps. Coral reefs are also called as rainforests of the sea. They occupy less than one tenth of the one percent of the whole ocean floor, altogether in the world. The total area of coverage of the coral reef would be about the total land area of France. However, the reef supports more than twenty five percent of animals in the sea by providing them shelter or food. Small animals like snails, Sea Monkeys, and sea insects build their nests in the reef and bigger Deep Sea Fishes seek their food from it.

Coral reefs can reduce the impact of global warming, coral Reefs in the good conditions have a wide function like split waves and reduce erosion and the reserve limestone deposition that contains carbon. These also can be functioning to reduce carbon to the atmosphere, therefore is able to reduce the impact damage on the ozone.

Coral reefs are a very important component of marine ecosystem. Coral reefs look like plants but they are actually animals. Various kinds of fish and other marine animals live in them. They are the best hiding place for small fish. In fact the function of coral reefs is the similar to that of tropical rainforest. So, we must preserve them too. When doing photosynthesis, algae zooxanthellae that live in symbiotic relationship with the coral reef absorbs CO2 gases. In other words, coral reefs help reduce global warming. Besides coral reef, sea grasses are also important food resources for turtles and dugongs. All of use are responsible in preserving the coral reef and the whole marine environment. The easiest thing that we can do is by not throwing plastic bottles along the streets and ditches wherever we go. These wastes will end up at sea when the rain comes.

Coral reefs are often called rain forest of the sea. They occupy less than one tenth of one percent of the world ocean surface. They provide home for many marine species including fish, mollusks, echinoderms and sponges.

Coral reefs need our help, and as one of the seven wonders of the world, they deserve it. Endangered coral reefs all around the world are being destroyed by human activites and getting smaller and smaller due to environmental problems. Learn what is causing coral reef damage and what we need to do in order to save them.
