The Pacific Ocean is the largest of the world’s four oceans. The Coral Sea(珊瑚海) is in the Pacific Ocean and is home to one of nature’s greatest wonders, the Great Barrier Reef(大堡礁). And the reef is now in danger.
It is the world’s largest coral reef system. It is made up of almost 3 000 different corals. The reef is home to 400 kinds of coral animals and over 2 000 kinds of fish.
However, global warming(全球变暖) is causing a worse condition in the Great Barrier Reef. Rising ocean temperatures cause the coral to lose the algae(海藻). The algae not only live in it, but also provide the main food for the coral. Without it, the coral is slowly becoming dead.
