Step-by-step explanation:
1. Reduce your carbon footprint
Carbon emissions also increase ocean acidity, which can impact corals and the species that depend on them.
Walking, biking, riding public transportation and carpooling are all ways you can reduce your carbon footprint
2. Conserve water to reduce pollution
All water winds up in the ocean, and pollution drives much of the damage to reefs. And runoff is what carries nutrients and contaminants into the sea.
Using less water can help minimize these impacts.
3. Get engaged
Through civic and political engagement, you can help shape your community in ways that reduce negative impacts on coral reefs. Volunteering, voting and running for public office are all ways you can become more engaged and magnify your impact on a wide range of issues.
4. Support sustainable fishing
Overfishing has a dramatic impact on coral reefs. By making informed choices about the fish you purchase and eat, you can contribute greatly to ocean health.
5. Support sustainable development and tourism
By doing research, speaking out and making informed choices when you visit tropical reefs, you can make a big impact
6. Help inform the public
Educating others about the crisis facing coral reefs is a vital part of building support, engagement and the political will to fight the human-caused pressures that are devastating reef ecosystems.
