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.

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
