In this essay‚ I will be discussing the leading causes of the recent endangerment of both the North American bats and coral reefs.

It affects the corals DNA by damaging it when it first starts to grow which makes them unlikely to develop properly. According to scientists they say that the way that the oxybenzone gets into coral system is when people go scuba diving the substance gets off of their skin and it infiltrates the system.
