The conservation of coral reefs is now an urgent issue. Coral reef ecosystems have been damaged by numerous factors, such as unusually high temperatures, outbreaks of corallivore organisms, sedimentation, eutrophication, and pollution. The latter 3 factors have a strong correlation with tropical ...
An ideal group in which to test life-history predic- tions for small reef fishes is the family Gobiidae (go- bies), which is dominated by species with a maximum total length of less than 100 mm. Despite being among the most diverse and abundant group of coral reef fishes (Leis & Re...
some corals could not grow or even die there.There are 91.22×106 t suspended bed loads from the rivers of South China to be transported to the sea every year,and the seawater with high silt content is disadvantageous to the growth of coral and developing into reefs.The coral growth is ...
Numerous elements, including coastal typology, geomorphology, hydro-oceanographic parameters, and human activities in a coastal area, have an impact on the quantity and spatial distribution of marine debris [31,39,63,81]. The coastal typology factor is influenced by the type of beach material, the...
Different configurations of coral reefs were also seemed to have an effect of the wave set-up. However, the experiment conducted was modeling a fringing reef that is often found closer to the coastline. The porosity of the mat was established in a separate experiment. The value of the ...

which forms a gigantic natural breakwater off the northeast coast of Australia, is by far the greatest coral structure on Earth. Coral reefs have fascinated scientists for almost 200 years, and some of the most pertinent observations of them were made in the 1830s by Charles Darwin on the ...
Coral mucus as an efficient trap for picoplanktonic cyanobacteria: implications for pelagic–benthic coupling in the reef ecosystem Although the planktonic community of coral reefs is dominated by picoplankton (e.g. the cyanobacterium Synechococcus), it was long believed to play only a ...

In contrast, physical characteristics such as substrate complexity and water depth affected the species-specific spatial association of labrid species. Further study is needed to determine the ecological factors that regulate the species-specific habitat preference in Okinawan coral reefs....
