Coral Reef Ecosystems: Biology, Ecology, & Conservation

The topic of the paper is: Coral Reef Ecosystems: Biology, Ecology, and Conservation
For this paper, you will need to research what coral reefs are, write about their biology/ecology, what organisms occur in coral reefs ecosystem, and the current issues facing the long-term health (conservation) of coral reef ecosystems.
One way to get started on this is to watch a couple of documentaries from the Blue Planet Series that cover coral reef ecosystems:
Blue Planet Episode 6 Coral Seas (preview at https://www.bbcearth.com/video/?v=345433)
Blue Planet II Episode 3 Coral Reefs (preview at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hZ2jJAWeKU&list=PLhf4EQNQLewR0GXpEHAoF-M58YS84AKOb&index=176)
You must format your paper as indicated below – the formatting is extremely important so be
sure to follow these directions.
*Only include a title for your paper at the top (do not add your name, date, course, etc)
*Minimum of three (3) pages (if you do not write a minimum of 3 pages with the correct formatting then you will lose points)
*Spacing 1.5 (NOT double-spaced, if you double space your paper then you will lose points on your grade)
*Page margins of 0.5 in on all sides (if you do not format the margins correctly then you will lose points)
*Use in-text citations for your sources (Author last name, year), then include a reference section at the end (does not count as part of the three page minimum, this will be in addition to the text you compose). References should be formatted using a recognized system (MLA, APA, etc) and include enough info for me to locate the reference
