Coral Reef

             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
