Luckily, the coral reefs in the red sea are more adaptable to climate change than any other types of coral in the world. But this does not guarantee their safety so scientists are going down there and trying out things that could also make them fight diseases and other bad things so that they can remain even stronger then they already are.]]> 2018-02-15 16:22:07 UTC https://padlet.com/muurin666/5nhw00cwxgvu/wish/231987741 muurin666 https://padlet.com/muurin666/5nhw00cwxgvu/wish/231992917 Read about how strong this coral is and how we can make it stronger.

The major key threats are as follows...
-Coastal development
-Overfishing
-Inland pollution
-Global climate change
-Ocean acidification]]> 2018-02-16 16:12:17 UTC https://padlet.com/muurin666/5nhw00cwxgvu/wish/232395247 muurin666 https://padlet.com/muurin666/5nhw00cwxgvu/wish/232396998 2018-02-16 16:16:04 UTC https://padlet.com/muurin666/5nhw00cwxgvu/wish/232396998 muurin666 https://padlet.com/muurin666/5nhw00cwxgvu/wish/232397331 2018-02-16 16:16:43 UTC https://padlet.com/muurin666/5nhw00cwxgvu/wish/232397331 muurin666 https://padlet.com/muurin666/5nhw00cwxgvu/wish/232397489 2018-02-16 16:17:03 UTC https://padlet.com/muurin666/5nhw00cwxgvu/wish/232397489 muurin666 https://padlet.com/muurin666/5nhw00cwxgvu/wish/232397736 2018-02-16 16:17:28 UTC https://padlet.com/muurin666/5nhw00cwxgvu/wish/232397736 muurin666 https://padlet.com/muurin666/5nhw00cwxgvu/wish/232397944 2018-02-16 16:17:51 UTC https://padlet.com/muurin666/5nhw00cwxgvu/wish/232397944 muurin666 https://padlet.com/muurin666/5nhw00cwxgvu/wish/232398661 2018-02-16 16:19:07 UTC https://padlet.com/muurin666/5nhw00cwxgvu/wish/232398661
