Coral reefs protect coastal regions from storms, floods while in the same time provides a proper home for thousands of marine species and attract tourists which assist the economy of many tropical regions.
A recent estimation valued the annual economic benefits of the world’s coral reefs at $30 billion. However, human activities including development in coastal areas, pollution have contributed to a global loss approaching 25% of these valuable ecosystems. Regarding to ocean heating, coral reefs are extremely affected and they may fully disappear during the next 50 years all over the world. It is said that even if the human stop pumping out green house gases it will be too late to save the coral reefs. It’s such a very beautiful thing in our earth is being lost by human hands.
Maybe many of us don’t value coral reefs as it should be but I think from now on we will realize the importance of these natural defenders.
