Coral is a food source for many different species of fish and sea animals. The eggs that are released are also used for food for some fish. In the end coral is in actual fact need the bottom of the food chain.

Several food chains combined is known as a food web, and this is a prominent feature in an ecosystem as it shows the relationship between different animals and it shows how all the species exist in their community.

We humans overfish, pollute and kill off endangered species. It's important to remember that storms, such as tsunamis, are uncontrollable natural forces but they can seriously damage coral reefs- breaking the coral, drowning plants and animals ( which sounds weird considering they live in the ocean!). The imbalance of nutrients can damage the food web and kill off certain species.
well if the great barrier reef died then many of the fish would die to because the fish would not have food because the tropical fish mostly eat the reef and the other fish would die. AND IT WOULD BE ALL DEPRESSING DOWN UNDER!!!!!! TEE-HEE
