Coral reefs are living, underwater gardens that form the backbone of underwater life in some areas of the world.

This means that when you dive or snorkel underwater to take a look at these coral reefs, you need to be careful not to disturb anything.

In general, endangered coral reefs are a difficult thing to understand. When people encounter coral reefs they may not be thinking in terms of harming them deliberately. But the problem is, hurting the reefs is very easy because they get damaged when there is movement around them or if they are touched. This normally wouldn’t be a problem but when the reefs are damaged it takes them a while to grow back. They are currently endangered because they are getting depleted by things such as pollution, movement, and human interruption than they are being created.
