What will happen if the entire coral reef on this Earth disappears?

Certainly, sea creatures and humans will be badly affected if all the corals on this planet disappear.

In the past few decades, the scientific community has continuously given us a warning about the seriousness of climate change as well as its threat to the global ecosystem.

Our beautiful coral reefs have been disappearing - especially in Queensland, Australia - which is classified as one of the seven natural wonders of the world.

Many coral areas have died, becoming white like lime dyeing.

Under the effects of the warming background, the warming of the sea water, the temperature increase makes the concentration of acid in the sea increase , and this makes the coral reefs bleached violently.

But the question is what will happen if all coral reefs on Earth completely disappear. Because we know that coral is the habitat of many species.

Research by scientists has shown, only in the past 30 years, up to 50% of corals on Earth have "died". And sure, if the rest is dead, then the consequences are extremely serious.

In the past 30 years, up to 50% of corals on Earth have "died".

We know that corals cover only 1% of the ocean's surface, but they provide an ecosystem for 1/4 marine life. It is a place of habitation, breeding, and nurturing the creatures of the ocean.

In addition, the coral system on Earth also provides food and provides jobs for more than half a billion people around the world. Good, each person consumes about 22.7 kg of protein each year and nearly one-fifth of the protein in life comes from seafood.

The supply of seafood will also create 1.5 million jobs for the fishery industry in the United States, nearly a quarter of the meat and poultry industry.

Without corals, thousands of billions of marine life will be affected.

Certainly, without corals, thousands of billions of marine life will be affected , and millions of people no longer have seafood to enjoy, the seafood economy will certainly suffer heavy losses.

Another thing that cannot be mentioned is the loss of coral reefs, the coastal tourism industry is estimated to decline to about 10%, equivalent to 36 billion USD (about 816 trillion VND) - a huge number.

Coral is also a barrier to the coastline, which reduces 97% of wave power.

Moreover, coral reefs are also the protection of the coastline, reducing the wave's strength by 97%, protecting about 200 million people along the coast. Meanwhile, if we invest in building wave walls with similar effects, we will have to spend 2.5 million USD for 1.6 km of coastal roads (about 55 billion VND).

With such a series of bad scenarios, do you want the climate change to become worse, the rise in heat, the warmer seawater and the remaining 50% of the coral on this planet? Lost it?

If not taking action now, surely the number of corals on Earth will completely disappear in the near future.
