Oxygen generated by the ocean - Coral Reefs

In Our Project, Naomi and I would like to know more about the coral reefs.

Land plants only produce 1/3 of the oxygen we breathe, the rest comes from the ocean. The dying of the coral reefs affects all species from marine life to human kind. We would like to to do a comparison to a City Tree in Zürich and calculate the amount of oxygen which is produced by the tree compared to the corals in the ocean. Further we would like to get to know more about how exactly corals affect us and the air we breath. Another aim is to get in touch with an Organisation who deals with replanting of corals and the restauration of coralreefs. We also thought about covering some other questions. For example how to prevent all coral reefs from becoming extinct by 2050, or is it possible to restore the riff like before and are there any statistics that show how the reef is doing at the moment?
