We need to stop polluting and stop littering to conserve and stop the coral bleaching. When we litter and pollute, we also should not be bothering the sea life by fishing and bothering the coral. Throwing plastic bags, soda cans, food wrappers, and trash bags in the water can cause many different animals to get caught and get injured. A lot of these things like overfishing, overuse, polluting, etc. are putting numerous reefs at risk and if these reefs vanish, it would ruin the habitat of many species.
