What biotourism is?

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.
