I am going to research our Coral Reefs and what is killing them all around the world. Coral Reefs all around the world are dying. I plan to read about what other Biologist are finding in their Coral Reefs and to look at all the data they collect. I want to narrow down my research by what is the leading cause. There could be many things that contribute to what kills them but I want to narrow it all down to the leading most cause.
I have wanted to be a Marine Biologist since I was 3, and I read about how Coral Reefs are dying at an alarming rate all around the world. I hope to learn what the underlying cause is, and what we can do about it. If there IS anything we can do about it. I watch documentaries and educational videos as often as I can, so I like to think I have a pretty good knowledge of Coral Reefs. I hope this can give me a new way to think about conservations and how I can help change the future of our oceans. I also hope to gain more knowledge on our Coral Reefs.
I think the questions I chose are good because they are questions mostly about what they think will happen if nothing changes. If anything can be done right now. I think it will make the readers more inclined to get involved. The questions I began with when I started, was what was killing them? I was alarmed that they said Coral Reefs all around the world are showing the same signs. I hope to find out if anything can be done now to help. I also hope to educate and get readers involved. My current perspective on this topic is dismal. I am so saddened by what is happening to our Coral Reefs. I think they are one of the most beautiful things on our earth. I want to do my part to help save our Coral Reefs.

Interview Questions
Q. What do you think will happen to the overall health of our ocean if Coral Reefs eventually disappear?
A. "Over all health of the oceans will decline due to the loss of biodiversity and necessary habitat. This would have a negative impact on economies and food supplies due to lack of fish harvest. Also, reduced protection of coastal areas for which the reef may act as a natural buffer." Sarah Benedict
Q. Is there anything we can do to reverse what is killing our Coral Reefs?
A. "Stop pollution (direct and indirect, lots of different kinds), overfishing, coral mining and global warming." Sarah Benedict
Q. How long do you think our Coral Reefs will last if nothing is changed?
A. "That is really hard to say and probably depends upon local as well as global conditions." Sarah Benedict
Q. What can we do to help improve the health of our Coral Reefs?
A. "Educate ourselves and others, institute policy and law that protects reefs, encourage sustainable tourism, reverse/slow climate change." Sarah Benedict
