The Pacific Oceanscape website is a support group for the countries in the Pacific Ocean that are losing their coral reefs. The website shows a map, explains why we need to protect the environment, talks about the issues, gives solutions and suggests things you can do to help the cause.

This website was helpful to me because it gave me all the information I need on where this is happening, what effects it has on the rest of the world and tells me what we as humans are doing to kill coral reefs.

This is the World Wildlife Foundations’ (WWF) webpage on coral reefs. The website gives you some facts, tells you about the ecology, talks about tropical and cold water coral reefs, tells you about the threats and the importance of coral reefs.

From this website I am taking the importance, some facts and the difference about tropical and cold water coral reefs. “More than 80% of the world's shallow reefs are severely over-fished” “Occupying less than one quarter of 1% of the marine environment, coral reefs are home to more than 25% of all known marine fish species” “58% of the world's coral reefs are potentially threatened by human activity” and “We have already lost 27% of the world's coral reefs. If present rates of destruction are allowed to continue, 60% of the world's coral reefs will be destroyed over the next 30 years”

This is a map of all the large established coral reefs in the world both tropical and cold water.

I am using this so I can get an idea of where the coral reefs are where the most are located and trying to guess how much of an impact they will have I will also find the cold water and warm water ones and see what one’s are being destroyed faster and what type of countries they are near will play a big part in their destruction as well.
