But scientists warn that 70 percent of the world's coral reefs will be destroyed within 20 to 40 years that a human did not stop polluting the seas, tourism is exact, and destructive practices such as fishing using cyanide.


 The bad news is that the second-largest reef system in the world, Belize barrier, will be the new location of the seismic oil exploration, drilling oil and mineral materials.
