They are coral reefs,the “rain forests of the sea” beautiful underwater worlds. Coral reefs only cover 1 percent of the sea floor. But they support 25 percent of sea life! Coral itself is acturally a small living animal. These animals live together right near each other. Only the outside of the coral is alive, though. The rest of it is made up of the bodies of earlier generations of coral. Coral comes in many different shapes-round, branchlike or even flat. Coral gets its food from tiny creatures that move by slowly and also from algae (海藻). Algae grow on the coral and stick it together to creat a reef. The algae give the reef its different colors. Normally coral reefs grow in shallow water, where sunlight can reach the algae. In warm, tropical (热带的) water, reefs can grow strong and healthy. Many different sea creatures can find food and a home in them. Coral reefs have a lot to offer humans. They help protect the shore from the hitting of storms and large waves. They provide food and medicine for people. And reefs bring in billions of dollars to local development through jobs and tourism. But coral reefs need help from people. Scientist predict that about two-third of coral reefs are at risk of dying. Humans play a big part in the risk. Pollution, poison and overfishing all hurt the reefs. By 2040, a third of the worlds reefs could die because of damage caused by humans. People can do a lot to save coral reefs. Recycling trash and saving water make less waste that goes into the sea. . Traveling by bus or bike lowers air pollution, which may lead to global warming. Picking up litter on the beach also keeps the water clean.If everyone takes these steps, change is possible.
