Coral Reef Powerpoint Presentation

Approximately 60% of the coral reefs in the red sea are thought to be in peril and this area has approximately 6% of all of the coral reefs in the world. That’s a scary number for a lot of scientists. If we were to lose a large quantity of the coral reefs around the world, we would probably also lose a similarly large number of marine species that depend on the reefs. The Jet Propulsion Lab at NASA believes that the number of endangered coral reefs around the globe could also be as high as 60% of the total reef population.
