Not many people are willing to go through the dark places of the oceans. This is what I want to do, because I would be the first one to see what is hidden behind the veil of darkness. I would like to be a marine biologist because not much of the ocean has been explored. If I could explore at least 1% of what has not been seen, I would be satisfied. I would like to be a marine biologist so that I can discover new species of marine life.

The antifungal side of these algae is part of what makes this an effective fertilizer: because the extracts also work as antifungals, they are able to slow down the growth of fungi that may harm the plants. Members of the padina family can be found in warm, tropical areas where the salinity is like that of the ocean, or brackish. However, there have been no studies to show the optimum growth temperatures and salinities of the water; they are guesses based on where padina algae have been found. They are found near the surface no more than 20m deep attached to seashell fragments, rocks, or mangrove roots, or found in sea grass beds, coral reefs, and tid... ... middle of paper ... ...s of the waves.

Citizens can also help by taking showers instead of baths, buying locally grown foods, carpooling, walking, or bicycling. Citizens need to collaborate and motivate one another when it comes to using less fossil fuel. Fixing this issue will certainly be difficult, but we can adjust our lifestyles in a way that’ll keep the environment safe for coral reefs. Human, nonhuman and coral reef health is likely to improve!

For instance, coral reefs serve as natural barriers against hurricanes and catastrophic storm surges, their chemicals may treat diseases, and they are a nitrogen fixation. On of the most important functions of coral reefs are that they are a major source of food for people. While they serves as a benefit to humans, coral reefs serve as shelter and food for many organisms, such as sponges, fish, turtles, dolphins, and several other marine life. Coral reefs are, to me, the most incredible organisms present in the world. Generally, coral reefs are overlooked; many do not see their beauty or even know much about them.
