belief that they would spear a pregnant Indigenous woman in order to save their fish.

this song Michael Jackson talks about our planet earth and how we the society are destroying it and because of this what has been affected because of ‘us’. The environmental issues that Michael addressed throughout this song was deforestation and overfishing in our very own oceans which is getting rid of the species existence more and more as the days go by. One heartbreaking issue is that mentioned is innocent children dying or should we say they are being killed because of selfish people in our society

is estimated that coral reefs provide $375 billion per year around the world in goods and services. * Silt from eroded soil in runoff water can block sunlight. Without sunlight‚ photosynthesis does not occur and reefs gradually die. * Overfishing: affects the ecological balance of coral reef communities‚ warping the food chain and causing effects far beyond the directly overfished population. * Climate change: Corals cannot survive if the water temperature is too high.

The painting‚ Fishing for Oysters at Cancale‚ was done by and American Artist in 1877 while in Paris. Sargent was twenty-one at the time when he was at Brittany sketching the fishermen on the shores.

insects messing up their system. The ultimate death of coral reefs was due to ocean acidification‚ which altered the corals’ saturation levels drastically. There are many proximate causes that led to the continuing extinction of coral reefs such as overfishing‚ agricultural runoff‚ and increased water temperatures; just small changes could ultimately lead the coral reefs to diminish. Coral reefs are one of the prime‚ if not the leading‚ support system to millions of species. It can be surely predicted
