CORAL REEFS

    Environmentalists are worried because many coral reefs are disappearing. Today only 7% of Jamaica’s coral reefs remain and the reefs in the Philippines and Western Indonesia are almost extinct.

Why are coral reefs important?

    Thousands of fish and sea animals live around coral reefs. It is easy for plants to grow there because the water is warm and shallow. The animals survive by eating these plants. The reef protects the coast from damage by waves or storms. Coral reefs are important for people, too. Doctors can use medicine made from coral to mend broken bones.

What is destroying the reefs?

    Sometimes hurricanes damage coral reefs. But people cause most of the damage. People damage reefs by putting rubbish into the sea. Coral reefs must have a lot of sunlight and clean water to live. Every year thousands of tourists visit coral reefs. This makes money for the country, but tourists leave rubbish and disturb the water around the reef. This damages the plants living there, so there is not enough food for the fish to eat.

1. Ninety-three per cent of Jamaica’s coral reefs have been destroyed.

2. Coral reefs help sea animals and plants to survive.

3. Coral reefs are used for medical purposes.

4. Hurricanes are the main enemies of coral reefs.

5. Tourists pay money to provide food for the fish.

6. Tourists drop litter into the water around the coral reefs.
