Identify the 3 conditions needed for coral growth. . Location. Describe. the location of the Andros Barrier Reef. . The Andros Barrier Reef is . Getting started. With this GEO resource you will be learning about the location and biodiversity of . coral reefs. , their value to us and the environment and threats affecting global reefs today. We will also investigate the response to such threats in term of management.. .  . Information about Coral Reefs. Coral reefs are made from animals that live in the same place their entire lives. .
