lots of humans touching the reefs

Threatened habitats are found every where including tropical rainforests and coral reefs.
we have too much CO2 in our atmospherein the future or present, the CO2 is absorbed by the oceanmaking it more acidic killing the coral reefs
This appears to be a typo of the word "coral" (marine reef-building animals).
Coral reefs are beneficial to all areas where they are found. They provide a home for many marine creatures. They also act as storm breakers and lighten the blow of tropical storms or large waves. Fishing could be considered a benefit to Florida from coral reefs, but bad for reefs because fishing damages the ecosystem.
The Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park are composed of 2 uninhabited atoll (atoll-circular formation of a reefs with shallow lagoon inside) These 10,000 ha. reefs are consist of 600 species of fish 11 of which under the threatened category of IUCN Red List of threatened species, 15 species of sharks and rays. 300 species of corals, 13 species of whales and dolphins, over a 100 species of seabirds including the critically endangered Christmas Island Frigate Bird under IUCN Red List of endangered species and 2 species of sea turtle the green sea turtle and the hawksbills sea turtle both are under the threatened species.
The three types of reefs are fringing reefs, barrier reefs, and atolls. Fringing reefs grow close to the shorelines of islands or continents, barrier reefs are separated by a lagoon from the land, and atolls are circular coral reefs surrounding a central lagoon, often found in the open ocean.
Galapagos sharks are not endangered. However, their conservation status is Near Threatened. They live in clear waters surrounding coral reefs, and although they are called Galapagos sharks, their distribution is worldwide.
reefs
The plural of 'reef' is reefs.
no dolphins are not in coral reefs.
Coral reefs are particularly vulnerable due to their sensitivity to climate change, ocean acidification, and rising sea temperatures, which lead to coral bleaching and habitat loss. Additionally, they are threatened by pollution, overfishing, and coastal development, which can degrade their delicate ecosystems more rapidly than many inland areas. The interconnectedness of marine life in reefs means that disturbances can have cascading effects, further endangering these biodiverse environments. Efforts to protect and restore coral reefs are crucial, as their loss would significantly impact marine biodiversity and coastal communities.
