How are coral reefs being protected?
Coral reefs are incredibly sensitive and thus much more open to
disease and damage/destruction. Scientists, biologists, etc. are
attempting to protect them by limiting what types and how much
fishing occurs on a coral reef, limiting how much biotourism is
allowed as some human diseases affect coral reefs as well as well
as promoting the lessening of pollution and greenhouse gases. There
are also laws in place to help protect the coral reefs and some
coral reefs are protected areas much in the way national parks are
often protected areas.
