Yesterday we watched a movie called Coral Reefs. It talked about how divers discovered the reefs dying and how they tried and saved them. There was 3 coral reefs called Tahiti, Motea and Bora. All of the reefs were in French Polynesia and Fiji. Coral Reefs have been alive for 60,000,000 years.Corals reefs are very beautiful and colorful.They make great homes for small animals and other organisms. When you see tiny animals by a coral reef you'll know that they are making them. Coral reefs protects tropical sea of strong tides and winds. Reefs feed 300 million people because most of the food resources are fish and they are in the coral reefs. Coral reefs stretches out 6 million feet in the water so that is very long. An interesting fact is that doctors use calcium carbonate for the bones when they are seriously injured. Corals most important partner is the algae because they algae make the animals come back to the corals and make them more better. the algae is being made because humans are polluting the sea and make algae so in some way we are helping the coral reefs.
