What Is Biodiversity?
Tourism
The reef provides a world of colours, shapes
and sizes that tourists world wide travel to
view.
Tourists are interested and amazed by our
white sands in the Caribbean which is
formed by the smashing of the waves
against the corals grinding them into
powder.
Fisheries
Reefs provide valuable fisheries.
Fishermen depend on the reefs to sustain
the livelihoods of coastal villages
Seafood is known for its source of protein
Nearby Mangroves act as a nursery for
fishes before they venture out to the reefs
where they are offered more protection
from predators.
Coastal Protection
Reefs play an
important role in
protecting the
coastlines from
erosion.
Reefs break the force
of the waves, this
results in calm waters
on the coast.
It faciliates coastline
activites like fishing
and sea sports.
Lets
Protect our
Reefs!
