Killer Starfish

 

Have you ever thought of how beautiful the Great Barrier Reef is? Have you ever wanted to visit it? Well unless action to save Australia’s Great Barrier Reef is taken than nobody will be visiting much.

50% of the Great Barrier Reef’s coral has been lost since the mid-1980s. What is the reason for this loss? The answer is pretty odd, a species of Starfish. Unless these starfish are stopped they will continue to eat away the Barrier Reef.  Learn more here.

This is news worthy because people need to be informed on what is happening to the Barrier Reef. If people don’t know what is going on than there will be no effort to save it. It also will create lost jobs if it is not assessed.

I think that the article could actually even explain more to the reader what they could do to help.The article kind of just abruptly ends and leaves readers wondering what to do

One thought on “Killer Starfish

  1. The starfish are only part of the problem, but one humans can try to improve. The bigger issue is global warming and increasingly acidic water. The story seems pretty thorough and may be overly positive.
