Water pollution poses significant threats to coral reefs by introducing harmful substances, such as nutrients, heavy metals, and plastics, which can lead to algal blooms. These blooms outcompete corals for sunlight and essential resources, ultimately resulting in coral bleaching and reduced biodiversity. Additionally, pollutants can weaken coral immunity, making them more susceptible to diseases and environmental stressors. Overall, water pollution disrupts the delicate balance of coral reef ecosystems, jeopardizing their health and survival.

What kind of problem do coral reefs have?
The biggest problem facing Coral Reefs is water pollution. The tiny animal that make up the reef, Coral Polyps, are extremely sensitive to changes in their environment. Man-made pollution can caused Coral 'die offs' that wipe out large areas of a reef in a short period of time. "Pollution" factors can include the raising of the water temperature surrounding the reef, as well as chemical pollution. Some sea animals do feed on Coral Polyps, but that effect is minimal and a part of the natural environment.
How does man affect the coral reefs?
pollution, boat traffic, higher temperatures (caused by climate change - cause coral bleaching) and aggressive fishing.
How could I help the coral?
