While coral reefs only make up a small portion of the ocean geographically, they are home to about a quarter of all ocean organisms. Coral reefs are an integral part of ocean ecosystems, but ecologists are concerned about climate change interfering with coral's food chains. The ecologists say that by eliminating overfishing and human pollution, reefs will have higher survival rates and become significantly more healthy. According to the text, why are ecologists worried about coral reefs? They can be toxic for specific types of marine wildlife.eliminateThey are not big enough to home all of the species who need to live there. eliminateThey are being overfished so their populations are dwindling.eliminateThey are unable to sustain life due to the severe impacts from various human activities.
