Human
own good becomes a murderer of coral reefs?
Have
you ever imagined that you would kill off the heavenly scenery “Coral
reefs" while trying hard to protect ourselves from the burning hot sun?
The coral is the most precious treasure
in the ocean. Nevertheless, nowadays, much of the coral faces the biggest
challenge it has ever met---“the coral bleaching”.
A senior student, Liou Guan Liang,
who now studies at the department of earth science master program specialized
in the coral before.
“Many polyps form the coral,” he
said. “And the polyps will secrete the secretion to form
hard skeletons. This is how the coral becomes.” The so called “coral bleaching”
is a phenomenon that polyps cannot bear the living situation anymore, so they
leave the skeletons.
According
to Liou, because the coral is really “delicate”, only some specific and stable
environment can the coral survives and almost “any kind of” pollution can
affect its living environment, such as oil leak, the “sunscreen” and the global
warming. “I
would not suggest that the sunscreen is the principal reason the coral is
collapsing, but every reason is associated.” Liou noted.
“Almost anything will cause mortality in high
enough doses. So, it is no doubt that the increasing doses of metallic oxide may
fasten the death of the coral!” He later concluded the interview with this
viewpoint.
