    helping the roofs fly from Miami beach florida.

  • 00:04 - 00:06

    What are they? My name is Kennedy roberts.

  • 00:06 - 00:09

    I've went on a scuba investigation to figure out

  • 00:09 - 00:12

    what a coral reef is so far my investigation,

  • 00:12 - 00:15

    I've figured out not all corals come into reefs.

  • 00:16 - 00:18

    The reason for this is because the corals that

  • 00:18 - 00:21

    do form is because individual polyps attached to rocks.

  • 00:21 - 00:25

    The next step to my investigation was to figure out how they attached to rocks

  • 00:25 - 00:27

    from lots of time under the water.

  • 00:27 - 00:30

    My thoughts finally all came and I figured out that they attach to

  • 00:30 - 00:34

    rocks by secreting a calcium carbonate exoskeleton

  • 00:34 - 00:36

    that submits the polyps in place.

  • 00:37 - 00:39

    I came to the conclusion that the corals have great

  • 00:39 - 00:43

    relationships with the algae known as zoo annex ella.

  • 00:44 - 00:48

    The Algae gives the coral nutrition from photosynthesis and is

  • 00:48 - 00:51

    used as carbon dioxide produced from the coral reefs.

  • 00:52 - 00:54

    This was the end of my investigation for part one.

  • 00:55 - 01:00

    Why are they important? Hey, it's me. Again, I'm halfway done on my investigation.

  • 01:00 - 01:02

    I found the reasons as to why they're so important.

  • 01:02 - 01:06

    The coral reef came from the most diverse ecosystem in the world.

  • 01:06 - 01:07

    While I was under the water,

  • 01:07 - 01:10

    I saw lots of marine life and I wanted to know where they were headed.

  • 01:11 - 01:15

    So that's what I did. It lead me to know. 25% of the marine life

  • 01:15 - 01:16

    lives in a coral reef.

  • 01:16 - 01:20

    I feel as if some unknown species are also living in the coral reef.

  • 01:20 - 01:24

    The biodiversity of the coral reef is valuable and irreplaceable.

  • 01:25 - 01:29

    I am now in Part three of my coral reef investigation today.

  • 01:29 - 01:31

    I will be figuring out what is happening to the reef.

  • 01:31 - 01:33

    The reefs are in several

  • 01:33 - 01:37

    in severe threats. The extreme weather conditions are going to harm them.

  • 01:37 - 01:40

    Fishing is causing death to the coral reef

  • 01:41 - 01:44

    when you fish, it's leading the coral reefs to stress out,

  • 01:44 - 01:46

    and then that is causing them to kill themselves.

  • 01:46 - 01:49

    The dropping ocean temperatures are putting them in tons of danger.

  • 01:49 - 01:52

    Be sure to clean up trash before you kill one of these,

  • 01:56 - 01:59

    helping the reefs live from Miami beach florida.
