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. 


1. What are corals?

2. How are corals formed?

3. What has the government done to protect the coral?

4. According to the passage, what poses a threat to corals around Barbados?

5. Why is chemical damage to coral so worrying?

6. How did the writer show that coral takes a long time to grow?

7. Write a sentence from the passage that shows that man has no input in the creation of coral reefs. 

8. Give 2 benefits of coral reefs to Barbados.

Saturday Classes 2024

Saturday, May 18, 2024 Class 3's                                      COMPREHENSION I dared not stir out of my castle for days, lest some savage should capture me. However, I gained a little courage and went with much dread to make sure that the footprint was not mine. I measured my foot against it. Mine was not nearly so large. A stranger, maybe a savage, must have been on shore, and fear again filled my heart. I determined now to make my house more secure than ever. I built another wall around it, in which I fixed six guns, so that, if need be, I could fire six in two minutes. Then I planted young trees all around. I feared my goats might be hurt or stolen from me, so I fenced round several plots of ground, as much out of sight as possible, and put some goats in each plot. I did all this, while I lived with a terrible fear in my mind that I might one day meet an enemy. I had lived eighteen y...

Tourism Tourism means people travelling to places outside of their usual home.  A tourist is anyone traveling for fun, business or visiting relatives. A tourist must stay at least 24 hours but for less than one year. There are different types of tourists. First, a domestic tourist is a person who spends at least one night away from their normal home but still within their own country. Some people call this a ‘staycation’.  Then, there are regional tourists. This is a tourist who travels within a certain region. For example, a Barbadian visiting Jamaica.  Suppose you really wanted to visit New York and see the Statue of Liberty. Then you would be an international tourist.
