Coral reefs add beauty to the sea world. It is also
a blessing because The reefs reduce the speed of
the ocean waves and mini-mize coastal Erosion.
There are several factors that are used measure the
value of a coralReef. Its bio –diversity, the area it
covers, the number of coral varieties And the percentage
of the live coral covering are some of them. The
Hikkaduwa coral reef is one of our Sri Lanka treasures.
The Bouna Vista Coral reef which is situated a few
milesaway from the Galle town and The corals at
Unawatuna are the other places in the Southern coast,
The Sri Lankan coastal line is rich with this ‘little
Sinharaja’ at the bottom Of the sea. Most species of
coral are vanishing rapidly because of the Destructive
fishing and sewage disposal.We must protect coral reefs,
one of our natural treasures.
