I think it is very interesting. I have been snorkeling, but I have never seen a coral. I am glad that they found new animals so I do not find a pink glob in my backyard.

I think that it is amazing that the coral species cover 25 percent of the floor of the ocean.

I would want to find a way to cure disease. Because it's not right to let people die of disease. Think about people who have suffered. I would help by going to different places arond the world and help or studie about some people live threw the worst disease you could possobly think of. So people can live in the U.S.A. And that's my story. So whats yours?
