Effects of Great Barrier Reef Degradation on Recreational Demand: A Contingent Behaviour Approach There is a growing concern that increased nutrient and sediment runoff from river catchments are a potential source of coral reef degradation. Degradation ... ME Kragt,PC Roebeling,A Ruijs - 《Australia...
Coral Reef Degradation Corals Reefs Coral Coral Reefs Made up of limestone skeletons of tiny marine organisms called coral polyps. Coral Reefs Hard rocky ridge build up from the sea bed by many tiny coral animals. They are sometimes called the rainforest of the ocean. They are the home to a...
Over a 12-month field experiment in the central Red Sea, we examined how healthy (hard-coral dominated) and degraded (algae-dominated) reef areas influence recruitment and succession patterns of benthic reef foundation communities on bare substrates. Crustose coralline algae and other calcifiers ...
Ecological Impacts of Coral Reef Degradation Coral reefs are an essential part of the marine ecosystem, and their degradation has far-reaching ecological impacts. Coral reefs are home to an array of marine species, and their decline results in the loss of biodiversity. The ecological impacts of ...

However, environmental degradation is inflicting serious damage on them, threatening the diversity of ocean life. Experts are calling for joint efforts to protect them. CGTN reporter Li Jianhua pays a visit to those most dedicated to protecting coral in South China. ...

threats such as land runoffs and ocean warming. “Unfortunately, the degradation of the coral reef matrix inside MPAs may, in the long term, defeat their positive effect on fish populations,” Mora said. “This further highlights the need for a holistic control of human stressors,” he ...
These range from global initiatives such as Reef Check (http://www.reefcheck.org) [10] and the CoralWatch project (http://www.coralwatch.org), to regional initiatives including Coral Reef Degradation in the Indian Ocean (CORDIO) (http://cordioea.net) [11], the Caribbean Coastal Marine ...
