The excerpt is about coral reefs: How have humans posed a significant threat to the coral reef ecosystem?

Select the correct answer.

A coral reef is an underwater ecosystem comprised of reef-building animals called coral polyps.    These animals live in small groups and stick to hard surfaces. Once a large number of these animals gather together, they create a giant ecosystem that provides safety and food for animals such as turtles, fish, sharks, and even plants. These animals use the coral reef for food and shelter.  People also reply on coral reefs to protect coastlines from storms and erosion and for fishing and recreation.

Although these coral reefs are important to the environment there are many reasons why some of them are dying.   There are some large threats like storms and large predators. but the threat from people is worse of coral reefs. Pollution, overfishing and climate change are some of the threats leading to some of the stress or even death of coral reefs.
