If there is a new product on the market, people buy it and use it every day without knowing where it came from or how it was made, but people “love it, they couldn't live without it." Using it carelessly and buying it again without saving, but what if this product disappeared and there was nothing else like it? Suddenly everything becomes harder and seems to be more difficult. There is only one solution to solve the problem, make people aware of what has been done to this significant product in life. What happens when no one else cares? People don't care that their actions affect things outside of their daily routine until they disappear or become no longer available. These are the conditions affecting coral reefs today. The careless acts of ordinary people are endangering the lives of coral reefs; However; with proper conservation and awareness these coral reefs can be saved. Located in warm shallow waters, coral reefs are found near paradise coasts. Although these coral reefs are composed primarily of calcium carbonate skeletons of dead coral animals, they create a protective exoskeleton that protects the thousands of species that live within (Coral, 2007). Coral reefs are filled with vibrant colors caused by a semiotic relationship between corals and algae called Zooxanthella. This relationship gives the coral its color and promotes the production of nutrients. The coral in return provides the algae with an environment to live in and provides a constant amount of carbon dioxide for the Zooxanthella's photosynthetic process. (Buchheim, 1998-2013). These coral reefs have the most biodiverse habitats in marine life, hosting 25% of marine animals (Earthjustice, 2014). “The world's corals and coral reef ecosystems are in crisis...... .https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcqEPx2AQLc&list=PL6D5FBCC08349BD1E>."Earthjustice: why the Earth needs a good lawyer."
