Coral Reef Alliance

By Dena Fritz

It is predicted that within just a few decades our coral reefs will be reduced to piles of rubble on our sea floors. Sound shocking and over-dramatic? No it’s not. It is really happening and it’s coming at an alarming rate. Coral reefs are dying and scientists cannot pinpoint one cause in particular. It seems that the deterioration of our coral reef structure falls victim to global warming, sewage, inland agricultural run-off, overfishing, industrial waste, urban run-off, tourism, oil and gas exploration, to name a few.

 Supporting MPAs (Marine protected areas) appears to be the best and most effective way to slow the large scale threat to the reefs. What this means is to actively monitor and manage the reefs for recreational damage and negative outside influences on or around endangered coral reefs.

 Did you know that your actions right here in your local world can affect our coral reefs? Sustainability is of utmost importance of anything that you can do. Make an effort; it’s worth it and will affect this ever-delicate and precious gem that our world holds.

 Things that you can do to help our coral reefs:

  1. Make a donation
  2. Become a friend of the reef
  3. Be a smart consumer
  4. Show you support for CORAL
  5. Become an Advocate
  6. Live Sustainably
  7. Join CORAL online communities
  8. Enter the CORAL Photo Contest
  9. Raise Money for CORAL
  10. Educate others – Twitter and FaceBook awareness
