Another threat to the coral reefs is overharvesting. As fish and other wildlife populations decline, the delicate predator-prey balance of life on the reef is upset. Experts warn that fish populations are at risk because maximum sustainable yields for many species around the world, including some that are endangered, have been exceeded. Destructive fishing techniques such as the use of cyanide and trawling gear damage reef habitat. The outright depletion caused by the harvest of coral and live rock for construction and the aquarium/curio trade has destroyed many reefs around the world. Save the ocean!!!

*Hello
Welcome to the very nice blog belonging to the nice group commonly known as CMC Ocean, made up of Christabel Chai, Teo Miao Xuan and Celia Teh.

For us, we hope that every single person, after reading this blog, would be inspired to save the reefs. Also, the world works as ONE & not as an individual. Remember: Your Actions Make a Difference! By the way, thanks for visiting our blog. Enjoy! ;]
Our ambition is to become biologists of the future and find more ways to save the reefs. email us!
