Removing these fish in such larger amounts removes predators and prey so the rest of the ecosystem struggles.]]> 2016-12-09 18:47:19 UTC https://padlet.com/waholmer/fx1y4kse2mju/wish/142883580 waholmer https://padlet.com/waholmer/fx1y4kse2mju/wish/142883792 Snorkeling, diving, and boating are all things that can ruin corals and water quality. Boat propellers can chop up corals or seaweed and pollution from divers can mess up reefs. Anchors being dropped on reefs are also a big problem. ]]> 2016-12-09 18:48:02 UTC https://padlet.com/waholmer/fx1y4kse2mju/wish/142883792 waholmer https://padlet.com/waholmer/fx1y4kse2mju/wish/142885050 Runoff from factories, farms, and other sources of pollution ruin water quality by adding random chemicals, acids, and garbage to the water. These things can be harmful to corals and plants in the water as well as fish. ]]> 2016-12-09 18:52:42 UTC https://padlet.com/waholmer/fx1y4kse2mju/wish/142885050 waholmer https://padlet.com/waholmer/fx1y4kse2mju/wish/143985416 The main cause for coral bleaching is usually climate change. This kills off the zooxanthellae dying and then it turns into a pastel-white color. Coral bleaching is bad for corals because they aren't as healthy without the proper zooxanthellae living in it.]]> 2016-12-16 06:38:50 UTC https://padlet.com/waholmer/fx1y4kse2mju/wish/143985416 waholmer https://padlet.com/waholmer/fx1y4kse2mju/wish/143985542 Temperature changes in coral reefs can lead to coral bleaching and deaths of corals. This messes up the ecosystems' balance and in turn ruins the ecosystem.]]> 2016-12-16 06:43:13 UTC https://padlet.com/waholmer/fx1y4kse2mju/wish/143985542 waholmer https://padlet.com/waholmer/fx1y4kse2mju/wish/143985603 Storms can cause rough seas and strong currents through the reefs which can break up corals, destroying habitats and shelters. This can take years upon years to regrow the loss coral which is a major problem.]]> 2016-12-16 06:44:51 UTC https://padlet.com/waholmer/fx1y4kse2mju/wish/143985603 waholmer https://padlet.com/waholmer/fx1y4kse2mju/wish/143985660 Ocean acidification is the decrease in pH levels of the oceans. These intense decreases are not good for the corals or other organisms who are not used to these level of pH. These ocean acidification events can lead to deaths of thousands of fish and marine plants. It can depress metabolic rates in organisms which is not healthy for them. Ways to avoid ocean acidification is to try to lower the amounts on carbon dioxide humans are releasing into the atmosphere and reducing how much pollution we dump in the ocean. ]]> 2016-12-16 06:46:10 UTC https://padlet.com/waholmer/fx1y4kse2mju/wish/143985660 waholmer https://padlet.com/waholmer/fx1y4kse2mju/wish/143985960 2016-12-16 06:53:33 UTC https://padlet.com/waholmer/fx1y4kse2mju/wish/143985960 waholmer https://padlet.com/waholmer/fx1y4kse2mju/wish/143985995 2016-12-16 06:54:36 UTC https://padlet.com/waholmer/fx1y4kse2mju/wish/143985995 waholmer https://padlet.com/waholmer/fx1y4kse2mju/wish/146352032 2017-01-10 18:56:04 UTC https://padlet.com/waholmer/fx1y4kse2mju/wish/146352032 waholmer https://padlet.com/waholmer/fx1y4kse2mju/wish/146353066 2017-01-10 18:58:30 UTC https://padlet.com/waholmer/fx1y4kse2mju/wish/146353066 waholmer https://padlet.com/waholmer/fx1y4kse2mju/wish/146538623 2017-01-11 15:27:11 UTC https://padlet.com/waholmer/fx1y4kse2mju/wish/146538623 waholmer https://padlet.com/waholmer/fx1y4kse2mju/wish/146538868 What are some examples of careless tourism?]]> 2017-01-11 15:27:45 UTC https://padlet.com/waholmer/fx1y4kse2mju/wish/146538868 waholmer https://padlet.com/waholmer/fx1y4kse2mju/wish/146539316 What is the main cause for coral bleaching?]]> 2017-01-11 15:28:58 UTC https://padlet.com/waholmer/fx1y4kse2mju/wish/146539316 waholmer https://padlet.com/waholmer/fx1y4kse2mju/wish/146540057 snorkeling, diving, & boating]]> 2017-01-11 15:30:58 UTC https://padlet.com/waholmer/fx1y4kse2mju/wish/146540057 waholmer https://padlet.com/waholmer/fx1y4kse2mju/wish/146540360 climate change]]> 2017-01-11 15:31:41 UTC https://padlet.com/waholmer/fx1y4kse2mju/wish/146540360
