Liliana C Blog #8 2010 Coral Reef Adventure

In the south pacific coral reefs have been going strong for 60,000,000 years and more. Coral reefs are by little organism called hyper algae, which is the most important thing to help the coral reef live because they eat it and if the oceans temperature gets higher than two dredges than the algae scatters and the coral reefs die. Corals reefs are in between islands and the deadly oceans to protect the islands form monsoons, hurricanes, and much more. The corals reefs are good for many things like easy child labor and for the extensions life's of people that have aids. They also feed people that live in the island that they are protecting by feeding the fish and then they eat the fish. The biggest reef is the great barrier reef which is located on the coast of Australia. Besides the amazing view of the reefs they make a great hiding place for animals, like when the predators come to feed in their prey than they can hide in these over 6,ooo year old organisms.

The sad thing about this is that the greatest Coral reefs are dieing. They are dieing because of over fishing, and silt. You the reader are asking me two questions right now number one what is ocean warming? and number two what dose silt have to with this?. Well I will answer your questions you know about global warming right? Well when it gets hot it will make the ocean hot too. And number two when you cut the forest down then the silt is running threw a creek than the creak goes into the oceans than falls on the Coral then the Coral cant breath so they die. Hope that answers your questions. But there is an answer two question number two, their is a tree called man grows and it stops the silt from spreading two the coral reefs.

I think that we can stop the marvelous creatures from dieing if we can slow down global warming.
