One of the things we can do to help the ocean is to not throw garbage in it. Throwing garbage in the ocean results to pollution which affects the life of the animals living in it.

Hi there, finally a Forum Event again

Types of corals:
- Acropora (Table coral)
- Isopora
- Pectinia
- Pocillopora
- Pink soft Coral

Things I do to (hopefully) help the Oceans:
- I'm trying to not use plastic by always bringing a shopping bag and use re-usable bottles. Asking for paper bags instead of plastic ones helps too.
- I also try to make my carbon footprint as small as possible. I dont own a car anymore, use the bike instead or public transport. Be aware in winter my heater is not heating unnessecarily.
- when buying fish I make it a point to check if it comes from sustainable fishing.
All little things, but I hope if everyone does this and other things too, the impact is large enough to make a big difference.

I would choose; 1- tooth coral
                        2-bubble coral
                        3-tongue coral
                        4-scale coral
                        5-hammer coral

To protect those corals people must stop throwing garbages in the sea,we must preserved those corals for our future generations.they are also habitat for fish and many other sea creatures, but seems most humans aims are to destroyed our blue planet!!!

What we could do for the Ocean ? We should keep the ocean clear without garbage, we mustn't throw plastic items in the ocean including nets, because they kills the animals like the turtles, fish. We must learn to be civil and treat nature as a precious commodity.

What to do to help ocean?
Change your diet. Fish is a finite resource and some species have become extinct due to overfishing. The next time you fancy a fish, try the vegetable recipes that will worthily replace your fish on a plate.

In order to help the ocean, we should be knowledgeable on aspects the affect it. We should keep the ocean clean by doing and informing others to not put garbage in it . In this way, we can help not only the ocean but also the organisms living in it.

Coral Triangle Day

I can talk about corals in the Red Sea which is our east cost in Egypt.

Coral Species of the Red Sea are :

1- Acropora
2- Gorgonia
3- Tubastrea
4- Fungia
5- Whip Coral

To preserve the ocean life including corals, boats shouldn't use their anchors where coral exists, neither they should throw their garbage in open water specially plastics.
Also there should be no fishing activities where corals exist.

I'm including some of the pics of coral in the red sea.

I hope my answer is satisfactory

We should avoid using single use plastics and buying products that are made from animals/things that plays a vital role in the ocean. If we avoided these products, those who produces these might stop from collecting those animals because it doesn't sell.
