The poison kills the reef and its other inhabitants.

Caption: Hard corals Do you know that hard corals are not plants?
Corals are actually animals
which are known individually as polyps.
. Thanks God here in Maumere we saw so many healthy corals.
Hard corals can be affected by
coral bleaching ➡️
Picture
Caption: Coral bleaching happens when corals lose their vibrant colors and turn white.
Coral bleaching impacts peoples’ livelihoods, food security, and safety. Coral reefs are natural barriers that absorb the force of waves and storm surges, keeping coastal communities safe. Without them, we must rely on manmade seawalls that are expensive, less effective, and environmentally damaging to construct. The leading cause of coral bleaching is climate change. Coral bleaching

Caption: How Can we Help? We all have a role in protecting coral reefs,
not only divers.
like reducing stormwater and fertilizer runoff or avoiding herbicides and pesticides.
Let’s do it together, guys. Small, daily actions can help reduce coral reef loss “Spread the word” just like I did here in Steller.
