An article from the BBC that might be of interest.

Coral reefs return to Caribbean

Removing weed from corals might trigger regrowth Scientists have found
evidence that coral reefs in the Caribbean are starting to regenerate,
following decades of decline.

Reefs off the north coast of Jamaica have begun to grow again after sea
urchins returned to the area, grazing on harmful seaweed."

I like the ALT tags on the pictures:
"Coral reef off Fiji" and "Bleached coral reef". Apart from the fact that the first picture has nothing to do with the story (Fiji is a long way from the Carribean) neither picture is of a "reef" as such although they may have been taken at a reef.
