Coral reef

All the different kinds There are many different kinds of coral reef and they vary from 45 meters deep to 450 meters deep in the ocean

Ultraviolet light gives the coral reef all of the color in it because it loses Zooxanthellae that keep it a ghostly color

Most of the coral reef has been bleached and is causing it to die and all of the pollution causes it to die… 70% of all the coral reef is gone

Coral reef can have very bright colors but it also can have a very ghostly appearance and is very good at adapting

To us coral reefs are big hazards for people in boats and we can hit them with a boat and were one reason why they are all dying
