Coral reefs are an ecosystem that includes more fish types living in a two-acre area, than there are bird species in all of North America. Fish and manatee feed and raise their offspring here. Coral polyps act as a filter in keeping the ocean clean. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, medicines are currently being developed from coral reefs to treat cancer, arthritis, bacterial infections, Alzheimers, as well as heart disease. Coral will significantly enhance our quality of life.
