The second largest coral reef is in Belize, Central America...
Australia is banning fishing in some areas, also it is expanding the protected areas and Australians are preserving water and throwing trash in the right place also scientists are researching the ways coral bleaching occurs and how they might prevent it
I've recently done research in this topic for my college speech... Coral Reefs are a key part of the oceans ecosystem. They help protect fish and provide food and shelter for them. Some scientists even believe that the stuff that coral is made out of has many medical purposes. They actually have calcium pills from coral. They believe that coral could even have a cure for cancer some day. So yeah that's some basics about the stuff I found out...
A coral reef is a community of organisms that exist in shallower ocean depths. The key component is coral, which often forms the foundation of the reef ecosystem. Coral species may either be photosynthetic or non-photosynthetic, however, the foundational species as well as the predominant majority are often photosynthetic. Most people define a 'reef' as a 'coral reef', but there are however manmade reefs, often called artificial reefs. These reefs are usually made from scrap material such as bridge rubble, or sunken ships. I would also call underwater rock formations that are often inhabited by various marine species a type of reef as well.
