Save our Coral Reefs

The alarming rise in global warming due to the rapid spread of industrialization is not only harmful to people all over, but it also has resulted in the slow diminishing of the coral reefs. The gradual increase in temperature of the earth’s crust due to the emission of the most harmful greenhouse gases has begun to slowly affect the natural coral reef, which are normally very sensitive to even small temperature rises in the ocean. Due to global warming widespread bleaching of coral reef has been taking place thereby resulting in the death of several coral reefs. Bleaching of oceans is caused due to numerous environmental factors like pollution caused by rapid industrialization, fishing and other forms of polluting the water, but the major cause of damage to coral reefs is the rising heat.

Even while oceans can absorb more heat without any major change in its temperature, the living creatures in the ocean cannot sustain even small rise in the temperatures. To save the diminishing natural habitat of coral reefs we have to be more conscious in saving the earth from global warming, some of the measures that we can take are by avoiding polluting water by frequent dumping and by working to improve watershed management in the surrounding areas. Other steps that can be taken by the authorities are to ban extensive ocean dredging and limiting the water traffic. Considering the benefits of coral reefs by preventing storms, promoting tourism by way of giving large scale revenues and to protect the natural marine existence, it is very important to protect and nurture the fast diminishing coral reefs.
