Coral reefs stop waves from destroying coastal property.

Coral reefs buffer coastlines from the pounding of waves by absorbing most of the waves force. This protects nearby coastal property. Healthy coral reefs constantly grow and repair wave damage, providing continuous protection for adjacent coastline. Unhealthy reefs cannot grow fast enough, slowly eroding and exposing previously protected coastline to powerful waves.
