The world’s largest population species dugong and largest breeding ground of turtles live here.
Due to high water temperature coral bleaching happens which results in corals ejecting the algae that lives on it on which it is dependent for the survival.
When the algae ejects the coral becomes white which makes the coral incapable to emit shell to form colonies to different individuals.
