5 easy Steps We can do to save Coral Reefs

  1. Conserve water. As the lesser water we use, the lesser runoff and wastewater will pollute our oceans
  2. Help reduce pollution. Walk, ride a bike or take a bus because fossil fuel emissions from cars and industry raise lead to ocean warming which causes mass-bleaching of corals and can lead to widespread destruction of reefs
  3. Dispose of our trash properly. Do not leave unwanted fishing lines or nets in the water or on the beach. Any kind of litter pollutes the water can harm the reef and the fish.
  4. Plant a tree. Trees can reduce runoff into the oceans. It will also contribute to reversing the warming of our planet and the rising temperatures of our oceans.
  5. Spread the word. Remember your own excitement at learning how important the planet's coral reefs are to us and the intricate global ecosystem. Share this excitement and encourage others to get involved
