First of all, they houses a collection of diverse organisms, and contribute
fisheries which provide food items such as fish, crustaceans, and mollusks. Furthermore,
coral skeletons are being used as bone substitutes in reconstructive bone surgery and may
be able to provide important medicine, including anti-cancer drugs and a compound that
blocks ultra-violet rays, they even help reduce global warming by taking carbon dioxide out
These reefs provide a house for many species. If the coral reefs were to become
extinct than future generations would not have the benefits that theses animals have to
offer, such as possible medicines, pest control, and carbon dioxide control.
Fisheries are also contributed by corals and if they were eliminated would reduce
the food source greatly. By not preserving corals, we are taking food directly out of our
With the technology that is rapidly being discovered, we learn more and more about
what we can do with bone structure and hard corals. Right now we are doing
restructuring procedures and learning that bone tissue and blood vessels spread into the
coral graft and eventually bone replaces most of the coral implant. Think about what could
happen in the future, what future generations could do to improve bone structure
disabilities. The possibilities are endless.
There is evidence that suggests coral reefs could potentially provide important
medicines, including anti-cancer drugs and a compound that blocks out UV rays. Do we
really want to take that opportunity away from our descendants? With the ozone layer
depleting more and more each day they are going to need all the protection they need from
the sun's harmful rays. Possibly a cure for cancer, and people are treating these living
organisms like they are nothing. Maybe if there was more education people wouldn't take
These organisms not only provide protection
