It has 1,000 species of fish, 4,300 land-species, 6,500 species of marine invertebrates and 3,500 recorded plants. 

It has many diving schools that dive in the lagoons and if the lagoons were destroyed there would be no animals and nobody would be able to dive there because of all the polution that would be in the water.
