Skittle-D is killing all the coral.
Skittle-D is a coral disease that is killing all the coral in many different coral reefs around the world. In January, divers noticed that all but one coral was dead in a specific reef. It was not a singular occurrence because the same thing has been in other parts of the world. The only positive note is that some where cause by a lesser disease called the white plague. The warmer waters could be the reason for these individual outbreaks, but if so how do we stop it. Along with this, is there a solution to Skittle-D if it does take over more coral reefs? Will we be able to stop it? With the lose of the coral reefs how will the animals and plants that thrive in those ecosystems survive?

Overall, I am shocked to hear about the coral reefs dying out because even though they only take up 2 perfect of the ocean floor. They support nearly a forth of all marine life. Without them the earth will not be the same. A solution needs to found for this problem.
