Coral reefs are fragile and they need to be protected. There are some natural threats to coral reefs, but people cause the most damage. Coral needs clear water to grow. When forests are cut down on land, erosion washes soil into the ocean. The plants inside the corals stop growing and the corals begin to die. Pollution caused by industry and shipping can also poison coral polyps. Ships leak fuel into the water and the boat anchors break off coral. Oil spills can cause huge damage as well.


1.  What does the phrase need to be protected suggest about the meaning of the word, fragile?


2. Use the clues in paragraph 2 to help you write a definition for the word, erosion.


3. Use the clues in paragraph 3 to help you write a definition for the word, pollution.




Many reef fish have bright colors. This provides them with good camouflage. Colorful spots and stripes make them difficult to see among the coral. Some fish can even change their color to hide from predators. Others, such as trumpetfish, are predators that change color to trick their prey.
