    Coral reefs are a vital part of an ecosystem. They represent the
    skeletons of algae and corals solidified into calcium carbonate. There
    are several different types of reef, including apron, fringing and
    table, depending on their relationship to the shore. In terms of the
    ecosystem, coral reefs support a huge amount of sea life by recycling
    nutrients in nutrient-low parts of the ocean, therefore providing life
    and health for the surrounding sea life, while also feeding off it to
    produce new reef formations. They also represent homes for various
    types of tropical fish, and other sea organisms, such as lobsters and
    sea turtles. Pollution and the live food fish have developed into
    serious threats to the delicate ecosystem balance that the coral reef
    inhabits. I hope you got the point (how indirectly help the ecosystem and there by maintain the purity).
