Earth's remarkable coral reefs are under attack. Pollution, overfishing and development threaten to destroy this fragile, beautiful system of marine life. Silt from construction and agriculture on coastal lands smothers the reefs. Increasing sea traffic covers the coral with poisonous pollutants. "Dynamite fishers" use explosives to kill or stun fish for an easy catch, blowing up sections of the reefs in the process.
