It’s Coral Reef Awareness Week! These amazing life forms are home to thousands of species of marine life but are at risk due to pollution, climate change, and unsustainable fishing practices. The most important thing we can all do during this week is to understand and raise awareness of the global and environmental significance of coral reefs.
Take our quiz to test your knowledge of the coral reef! Are you reef-y impressive, or do you need a reef-fresher?
What can you do to help the coral reef?
These are several things you can do to help protect the coral reef:
- Clean up local beaches.
- Use coral-safe sunscreen when you go to the beach.
- Conserve water.
- Don’t touch coral if you go snorkeling or diving.
- Minimize use of fertilizers.
- Conserve energy.
