Did you know coral reefs cover less than 1% of the ocean but support 25% of sea life? Coral reefs are found in warm ocean waters all over the world. These colourful reefs act like underwater cities where fish, turtles, and even sharks live together. Coral reefs are important because they are home to many ocean plants and animals. They also help keep the sea clean. Moreover, they provide food, jobs and a special place to visit for millions of people all over the world.
Coral reefs are formed by tiny animals called coral polyps. Imagine thousands of tiny coral polyps working like builders to create giant reefs over centuries! When coral reefs are healthy, they keep the ocean environment balanced. Sadly, pollution and climate change are damaging the corals, turning them white and weak. And many things that humans do are making the reefs sick. Some reefs are even starting to die. If reefs disappear (消失), the ocean's balance could break down, affecting all sea life.
We should protect coral reefs and help them become healthy again. Even small actions, like using less plastic, can make a big difference for reefs. Schools and scientists are now planting new corals to help damaged reefs recover. Let's be reef heroes by learning and sharing how to protect this underwater wonder!
