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
