Solution:

There are so many solutions in order to help keep our reefs looking fresh

1) Have oceanographers look at already dead coral reefs and check the rings on the coral (like a dendrochronologist would look at the rings of a tree) to see how old the coral is and which were good years and which were bad.

2) Limit tourist visitation. Diving and snorkeling are two of the major factors contributing to the deterioration of the coral reef. So if we were to pause visitation to these parks for a certain time then that will give the coral time to grow and keep living so we can enjoy them for years to come.

3)Help reduce pollution: Stop or Limit the amount of Fossil fuel emissions you put into the air because it can lead to to ocean warming

4) Practice safe and responsible diving and snorkeling: Do not touch the reef in anyway. Having any contact with the coral will damage the coral animals that live amagst it, and will kill the reef. So be careful of your surroundings.

5)Get the Government Involved: Get government to treat them with care demand they take action to protect coral reefs, stop sewage pollution of our oceans, expand marine protected areas and take steps to reverse global warming.
