They look like flat beds of rock, but in fact they are formed from the skeletons of tiny sea creatures. Almost one half of the world’s coral reefs occur in shallow sea, near to the coastline of over one hundred countries.Millions of people depend on these corol reefs for their livehoods. The majorityof natural products which come from corol reefs, such as fish, shells and seaweed, can be sold, either locally or in export markets. Not only does the person who collects the products earn money, but also those people who prepare, market or sell them. In some countries, coral reefs are the main natural resource. In the Maldives, for example, 25% of the workforce is employed in fishing. In addition, 56 % of the national economy comes from reef-based tourism. This means that a substantial number of people are employed in tourism-related jobs.Fishing is normally an occupation for adult males, particularly where it involvesthe use of boats, and other people are often excluded from it. Coral reef fisheries, on the other hand, are usually accessible on foot, so work is not restricted to men. In fact, collecting fish and other products from the reefs is generally the job of women, children and even the elderly. coral reef: rặng san hô
