Project Aware: Reef Conservation

Coral reefs are magnificent structures in our world playing important roles in biodiversity, however pollution and global warming over the years have significantly damaged and endangered different species of corals. In Thailand for example sewage water and other wastes are constantly being dumped into rivers and oceans polluting these bodies of water, and being one of the worlds largest fish exporters, overfishing also poses as a great treat to marine life. All these factor is tied to coral health and greatly damages corals as well as its inhabitants. In order to decrease the amount of waste being dumped into the rivers and oceans we could start simply by being "green", and create awareness while spreading the simply technique of reduce, reuse, and recycle. One of the many solution to over fishing is the practice of fisheries, which breed and grow particular types of fish in a controlled environment. These methods benefit both us and the marine lifeforms therefore protecting corals reefs.
