The Coral Reefs are being destroyed and there are many reason for this. Over fishing is huge. 75% of fisheries in the Pacific Oceanscape are unable to meet their needs. The oceans have become more and more acidic over the years because a lot of people are producing CO2 and the ocean is absorbing all the carbon, making the water have a high level of acid. The sea level is rising in the Pacific Oceanscape; it has risen 7.5 feet. Dynamite fishing is destroying coral reefs as well. people will go out in their boats and in stead of waiting for the fish to bite they put explosives in the water and catch all the fish that rise in a net. This is destroying the coral reefs in a number of ways: it blows up pieces of the reef; kills fish and when they don't rise they sink they fall into the coral and pollute it; and all the chemicals from the explosives kill the coral and turn it from bright and colourful into a grey boring mess.

My topic is Cartography, map making, cartography deals with everything in and around the world. I had a lot of choice for my world issue, I could have talked about almost anything. I decided on the coral reefs for my world issue. There are two types of coral reefs, cold water and warm water. Most of the worlds coral reefs are located in the eastern shoreline of Africa and in the Pacific Ocean all over the continent of Australasia. The Pacific Oceanscape produces most a lot of food, "Oceans store the majority of the earth's carbon, which gives them a crucial role in regulating global climates." (Pacific Oceanscape) The Pacific Oceanscape gives jobs and prosperity to the islands and the Oceanscape give Serenity and beauty to the world.

Your posts are all very well done but I mainly enjoy seeing the work you have created yourself on the world maps. I find the subject you have chosen to be very unique but interesting. I want to save the reefs as much as you do imagine a child growing up and not knowing what a coral reef looked like? Or watched finding nemo and said hey what's that all in the water? That would be so sad! Keep up the good work :)
