Reefmasters5/25/2023 With so many problems facing coral reefs, it’s crucial to intervene on their behalf and work to restore this heavily damaged yet very important ecosystem. Many countries are still involved in the business of coral mining for souvenirs, sale to hobbyists or for use in construction materials. Careless practices when boating, diving, snorkeling and fishing can also damage reefs. Global warming can cause bleaching and deaths of corals, while sewage runoff and sedimentation from coastal lands can smother them with algae or infect them with lethal diseases like white pox. As carbon dioxide levels rise, ocean waters are becoming more acidic and it is getting harder for corals to build the hard skeletons that make up the reefs on which so many species depend. Georgia Aquarium staff have dedicated thousands of field and laboratory hours to help give corals a chance not only to survive but to thrive in a challenging, changing environment.Ĭoral reefs face many challenges.
