Review Film Chasing Coral

The film chasing coral tells about the beauty of the underwater world that feels foreign to humans.
Even though the underwater world saves millions of different kinds of biological beauty. Starting
from coral reefs, schools of fish, jellyfish and other creatures living down there. All of them exude
the beauty of the amazing colors of marine life.

But unfortunately the natural beauty is now being damaged, where the world's colorful coral reef
population has experienced bleaching and died. Coral bleaching is a phenomenon of discoloration of
coral reefs, from previously green or brown to off-white. This phenomenon is triggered by sudden
changes in sea temperature, which in turn can lead to coral death.

According to professor Ove Hoegh Guldberg, a marine biologist from the University of Queensland,
corals from the genus Porites that can live 1000 years and are strong enough to survive storms can
experience mass death due to coral bleaching. Then according to Jeff Orlowski and his team in the
process of chasing coral film , twenty-nine percent of the corals on the Great Barrier Reef bleached
and died in mass in just a year, and it happened because the sea temperature turned hot.

This phenomenon of coral bleaching marks the beginning of the ecological collapse of the entire
ecosystem. More than just species, genera, families, orders and entire classes of organisms will go
extinct. Corals are a fundamental part of a large ecosystem, corals are like trees in the forest, if coral
reefs are lost, it will affect the lives of a quarter of the oceans. Small fish, big fish, turtles, jellyfish,
crabs, and including the group of very beautiful phylum cnidaria will be in danger of disappearing if
we as humans do not take care of this ecosystem properly.
