Some locations where coral reefs are found are the Caribbean Sea, Western Indian Ocean, and the Western reaches of South Pacific. Coral reefs are located around the Equator where it is hot and tropical.

The shallower the depth of the water, the warmer the temperature. The average temperature of the oceans surface is about 17 degrees Celsius. There are 2 different seasons in the coral reefs.
