Practice Reading: Fill in the Blanks (Dropdown) ID: #48139 Coral Bay
Instructions
The  once-thriving  coastal  town  of  Coral  Bay  was  a  jewel  of  biodiversity,  its  coral  reefs  a    for  marine  life  and  a  magnet  for  eco-tourists.  Each  year,  from  spring  through  fall,  the  clear,  warm  waters  played  host  to  an  array  of  sea  creatures,  from  gentle  sea  turtles  to  colorful  schools  of  fish,  drawing  divers  and  nature  enthusiasts  from  across  the  globe.  The  local  economy  flourished  on  this  ,  with  dive  operators,  eco-lodges,  and  seafood  restaurants  thriving  on  the  steady  stream  of  visitors.  However,  the  turn  of  the  century  marked  the  onset  of  a  grave  environmental  .  Successive  coral  bleaching  events,  driven  by  rising  ocean  temperatures  and  unchecked  pollution,  decimated  the  reefs.  The  vibrant  underwater  communities  dwindled,  leading  to  a  dramatic  fall  in  tourist  arrivals  and  a  subsequent  economic  downturn  for  the  town.  The  stark  decline  served  as  a  grim    of  the  fragile  interdependence  between  human  activities  and  natural  ecosystems.  Efforts    the  reefs  and  restore  Coral  Bay's  former  glory  are  underway,  involving  conservationists  and  the  local  community  in  a  challenging  battle  against  climate  change  and  environmental  degradation.
