Pollution is killing coral: scientists
Pollution is killing coral: scientists Approximately 25 per cent of the world’s
coral reefs have been destroyed by pollution and global warming.
Unless urgent action is taken, most of the remaining reefs could be
dead in 20 years. In some of the worst hit areas, such as the
Seychelles and the Maldives, up to 90 per cent of the coral reefs
have been killed over the past 2 years because of rises in water
temperature. The loss of coral reefs upsets the balance of marine
ecosystems and places thousands of species of fish and other marine
life at risk. OCTOBER 24, 2000
