Put the sentences in the correct order:

  1. Even with these measures in place, the underlying dilemma persists: the industry that keeps reefs economically valuable is also the one most capable of destroying them.
  2. To address this, some governments have introduced visitor caps, reef taxes, and mandatory briefings that teach tourists how to minimize their physical contact with fragile coral structures.
  3. Yet the very activity that sustains these communities can also damage the reefs themselves, as careless fin kicks, anchor drops, and sunscreen chemicals accelerate coral bleaching and erosion.

  5. Coral reefs draw millions of snorkelers and divers each year, their vivid colors and abundant marine life making them among the most photographed underwater landscapes on Earth.
