Question

What will happen to coral reefs if nearby mangroves are destroyed?

- Sedimentation will occur in intertidal zones instead of coral reefs.
- Reef health will decline without the filtration that mangroves provide.
- Reefs will receive less sunlight due to increased turbidity in the water.
- Carbonate for coral formation will decrease significantly without mangroves.

Answer 1

Answer:

I believe it would be B because mangroves roots are under water and there are a lot of them, so they could filter out larger debris which could destroy the coral.
