"From my viewpoint, ridges are not simple meant mountains. .The water discharged by humans influences the ocean dramatically,which means people have to introduce practical measures on daily routine to decrease the contamination since the pollution caused inland by human is the one that devastating the ocean and the reef as well. Fortunately,the actions have already been conducted: policies are made,waste water is collected and handled properly before disposal.With the effort made,things are getting better little by little.Thus,I tried to show the most of the process with a more particular example which is the measure fight against the Coral bleaching.Only when people take actions immediately can we stand a chance to save the coral. There are enormous amount of people who care deeply about our world are endeavor for limiting the contaminating process and their faith is the crucial thing we need pass on."
