Destruction of Coral Reefs
![Page 3: Annie w., morgan c., coral reef destruction period 4](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070312/5539f8ae550346e93a8b4a45/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The Main Causes of Coral Reef Destruction…
Overfishing
And Global Warming
![Page 4: Annie w., morgan c., coral reef destruction period 4](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070312/5539f8ae550346e93a8b4a45/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Reefs harbor 25% of all known marine animals
70% of corals are threatened or destroyed
Coral reefs have the most biodiversity after rainforests!
![Page 5: Annie w., morgan c., coral reef destruction period 4](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070312/5539f8ae550346e93a8b4a45/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
75% of ALL fish are overfished/ depleted!
Global warming causes fish to move away from Tropics
This causes reefs to have less biodiversity!
![Page 6: Annie w., morgan c., coral reef destruction period 4](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070312/5539f8ae550346e93a8b4a45/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Think about this…. Fish could be gone within the next century!!!

If we had better conservation measures…
We would have healthy coral reefs!
