What pollution is doing to the water
Human trash is currently being thrown into our oceans polluting it with plastics and toxins that put the reefs at harm. The reefs give shelter and food to marine animals and orginisms. With the reefs dying so are marine animals making it harder for them to find food and shelter
Coral reefs need clean, clear water to survive. When sediment and other pollutants enter the water, they smother coral reefs, speed the growth of damaging algae, and lower water quality. Pollution can also make corals more susceptible to disease, impede coral growth and reproduction, and cause changes in food structures on the reef.
