Coral Reefs By: Jovana Dragovic

How might carless tourism affect coral reefs ecosystem?

What is careless tourism in the UAE Carless tourism in the UAE is when tourists come to the man made islands and ,when the UAE builds the man made islands they build it on the coral reef witch when they have to bomb the coral reefs .

Body oil on the coral If people touch the coral the body oil will get on coral and kill the coral Fish will swim in the dead coral and get body oil from coral on them selves and die The body oil will spread if touched between each other and spread row by row In the UAE….. Tourist are boating in there boat then they see some coral and they go and they touch it

Here is a another example

Responsibility Humans responsibility … Even if the UAE dose want to build island they don’t have to build it on coral reefs because there are better places to build the island

Coral mining Live coral is removed from the coral reef, used for bricks, road fill and cement for new buildings Coral is also used for souvenirs for tourists and to exporters who don’t know or don’t care about the long term damage After coral is taken out of the ocean water it is dried and sold as live rock also treaded for goods In the UAE …. Coral mining is for the tourist they mine the tourists bye the coral for souvenirs if the coral is take out of water and same thing as killing the coral

Here is a example

Connection The connection is that if you take coral out of water it is like telling a human to stop breathing and if a human stops breathing the human will die so water is corals air

Avoiding predators Treat comes from below and above that means people overfish out of water and with out coral fish have no where to hide Most fish in the ocean need to hide in coral but if coral is destroyed then fish have no where to hide In a food chain fish are being eaten , so fish don’t want to get eaten so they need to hide because there is no where to hide In the uae When the fish are being chased if the coral miming is happening the fish will have no where to hide

Here is a another example

Interdependence The interdependence is that when the fish have no coral to hide in they will grow less in population and one will over populate will one goes crazy
