Biodiversity Decline in the Great Barrier Reef <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This presentation reviews the biodiversity of organisms that dwell within the Great Barrier Reef, and\n analyzes how various human activities have been ushering a destructive \nwave against this complex ecosystem. As a result of the augmenting \ncarbon levels in our atmosphere, overfishing procedures, and the \naddition of numerous toxic chemical substances and other pollutants, \nmany species are being affected. As coral growth and development are \ninhibited, the natural homes, food sources, and breeding grounds of many\n aquatic creatures are being uprooted. In addition, many larger species,\n such as sea cucumbers, fish, and turtles, are facing draconian \nchallenges due to overharvesting and pollution. Fortunately\n however, these conditions are not irremediable. By establishing a clean\n energy economy and imposing regulations regarding mismanaged fishing \nand toxic waste, the potential for the revival of this biome will again \nbe attainable, eventually restoring the vibrancy of the Great Barrier \nReef. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
