Corals are tiny animals (not plants) called polyps. Coral polyps belong to the same group as the jelly fish family. There are different types of corals, hard corals like brain coral and soft coral like sea fans. Coral takes a long time to grow. (0.5cm to 2cm per year), therefore that is one of the main reasons why the Marine Pollution Act states that it is illegal to buy, sell or damage coral.

Polyps live in colonies. They attach themselves to rocks and as they continue to grow they fuse together and reefs are formed. Coral Reefs are the largest structures on the planet created by animals. Barbados is renowned as the home of some of the healthiest reefs in the Caribbean and it also provides great opportunities for diving.

Barbados is surrounded by coral formations of varying sizes, shapes and features. It is a drawing card for many tourists who love diving and experiencing the intrigue and beauty of the reefs that make up the natural scenery of marine life. Many writers have referred to the reefs off Barbados as beautiful and unspoilt.

Coral can be damaged by the runoff of chemicals from the land because of the many housing settlements along the coast, this has become a threat. Chemicals flow into the waters from agricultural run-off and sewage. This is extremely worrying as many coral spawn all at once and only once per year, therefore, once coral is damaged we must wait an entire year before more is spawned.

Coral reefs in Barbados protect the beaches from erosion and wave action. Barbados' white sand is primarily derived from coral. No coral, therefore, no beach, therefore no tourism.

Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow. Remember to always answer questions in a complete sentence. Poverty Five times a day, the crowd of students flocked around the window through which the caretaker sold her cakes, then broke up in the yard to play and walk about, while heartily biting into long pieces of a type of gingerbread with jam. And five times a day I was forced to endure this spectacle without participating in it. I never had a cent to my name. I was forced to stand in the background, and the sight of those cakes the pupils bought in a joyous uproar and devoured greedily and freely about me, overwhelmed me with passionate desire. Thus I began filling myself with water from the tap, in a corner of the yard and, every now and then, I returned to it, trying to drown my stomach to keep it qui
