A recent study published in the journal Scientific Report shows that algea proliferation is on the rise.

The study claims that if we do not do anything about the deadly algeas, the Great Coral Reef will be dead by 2100.

The algea and the reef are fighting for space right now. As the algea grows, the reef will have to compete for space.

Along with the spatial concern, researchers have also found that rapid increase in CO2 is making the algea release more poisonous chemicals.  As the CO2 in the atmosphere increases, the Ph level of the oceans decrease. Because of this decrease, the reef’s ability to absorb the calcium it needs to survive is disrupted.

This study was done with the intention of bringing attention to the importance of environmental conservation.
