The polyps are like tiny sea anemones‚ to which they are closely related. * Coral reef ecosystems support a variety of human needs. They are important for subsistence‚ fisheries‚ tourism‚ shoreline protection‚ and

The permit allows the paper mill to discharge waste into the river that raises the temperature of the water way beyond the standards allowed by the state water quality standards. Due to the extremely high water temperature it is very hard for fish to survive. In 2007‚ due to the water temperature‚ nearly 8‚000 fish died. The wastewater that the paper mill is
