Coral bleaching :(/ why should we even care about the coral reef???

To under stand coral bleaching you need to know what kind of coral is more effected.  The coral that is being effected is called polyp, it i s considered coral because it is shaped like an upside down jellyfish. Coral is very sensitive to the temperature of water, so it cant be to high or even to low for that matter.  But the main reason coral gets bleached is because the coral losses its food. Also, when it changes color because the water temp. is to high.  Scientists think coral bleaching is happening now more then ever, is because there is so much climate change.  But there are many ways that people can prevent this.......by recycling, using less electricity, and also riding bikes instead of driving cars that pollute the air.

The coral reef is a very populated and it holds over 1,500 species of animals.  The reason for the warming of oceans is because of the climate changes.  This effects the coral because they can not get any food and the fish can not withstand the such warm water so the move to cooler temperature water.  Another three ways that can help prevent this, is by......walking to use less energy, open windows instead of using the air conditioner, and donate things that you might not need any more instead of throwing them away so you don't create more garbage to pollute the earth.
