The Damaging of Coral Reefs

Many of the coral reefs are being bleached from pollution. Unfortunately, pollution is one of the main problems that is affecting the corals. All of the fertilizer dumping, and plastics being dropped in the oceans, along with oil spillages, the long-term effects on the coral reefs are immeasurable. The increase in nitrogen from runoff fertilizers from lawns and farms, toxins from the sewage from industries and communities greatly lead to a surge in the growth of algae which deplete the dissolved oxygen in the water. Without the oxygen it invariably suffocates the coral reefs and the other marine life. Deforestation, construction, mining and other land activities cause settling in rivers, and when water from these sources go into the ocean, they cover the corals and deprive them of light which is a large source of their growth.
