There are some threats to corals.One of them is the Water Quality Decline.
Corals require clear, clean, nutrient-free waters to thrive. Algal blooms caused by excess nutrients in the water column out-compete slow growing corals for habitat and reduce oxygen levels, decreasing visibility, increasing chlorophyll levels, and inhibiting photosynthesis dependent on sunlight. The kinds and extent of diseases attacking corals have increased in recent years and have reduced coral coverage. As oxygen levels are reduced, fish and other sea life cannot survive at the reef.

*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.

By the way, thanks for visiting our blog. Enjoy! ;]
