Endangered Coral Reef

In Loft’s article (2008), “Coral Crisis: Global warming, trawling, pollutants threaten the world’s coral population”, the author tells what coral reef’s habits are, why coral reefs are endangered, and how to protect endangered coral reefs. The author discusses the fact that global warming and contaminants make ecosystem destruction and endanger species in the ocean. The author says that people should do to environmental management and environmental conservation for coral systems. The author also explains the fact that rising ocean temperatures exterminate marine lives. However, the author discusses the fact that some scientists don’t care about influences of rising ocean temperatures because they believe that sea-surface temperatures have a “thermostat”. The author claims that people have to look after the coral systems because coral reefs are very sensitive to various environmental impacts. Finally, Loft claims that people try to protect coral systems and they also have to learn knowledge about coral reefs and environmental issues.

I agree with the position that global warming threatens many kinds of sea lives. The extinction of coral reefs and serious changes in environment are now threatening the marine lives. Nowadays, environmental problems haven’t come to a satisfactory solution, but a great number of people are trying to find the best solution because people must try to live together with many kinds of species.

First of all, we should reduce many kinds of pollutants in the ocean. The wastewater and the various detergents have become the cause of endangered species. For example, the seawater at the bathing resorts is polluted with sewage and the outflow of oil brings an awful pollution. Environmental destruction in the ocean that is caused by various contaminants produces ecosystem destruction and endangered species. People have to make pollution control and decontamination.

Finally, we have to reduce indiscreet submarine development. At present, people try to harvest submarine resources develop the sea bottom because the ocean has a great number of mineral resources at the sea bottom. We have also tried to make oil exploration and a submarine cable, even an undersea tunnel, so we gave marine lives many kinds of environmental problems. We have to think about environmental protection when we make development works in the ocean.

In conclusion, pollutants and indiscreet ocean development start environmental contamination and endangered species in ocean. People should do their duty with regard to the protection of the environment and endangered species care because people destroyed the environment. Therefore, humans should learn about environmental issues and endangered species. Humans also should try to make the environmental protection countermeasure.
