Which statement best summarizes "Save the Coral Reefs”?

Development along the coastal regions has significant negative effects on coral reefs. The reefs are an essential part of the ocean’s ecosystem, and when people build structures on top of them, they are easily damaged because they are so fragile. We should limit construction along the coast to protect the reefs.
