Question
Chapter 24.3, Problem 3TC
Summary Introduction
To discuss:
The sedimentation of wastes harming the coral reefs.
Introduction:
Coral reefs are “biologically valuable” because coral reefs are homes of thousands of marine species; they provide protection to shorelines and inhabitants living near coastal regions. They also support human life through development of pharmaceuticals to treat life-threatening diseases.
