Tour guides regularly take visitors to view the reef. On one tour, a traveler asked the guide an interesting question. "I notice that the lagoon (泻湖) side of the reef looks pale and lifeless, while the ocean side is vibrant and colorful," the traveler observed. Why is this? The guide...
An important environment that is more or less totally restricted to the intertropical zone is the coral reef. Coral reefs are found where the ocean water temperature is not less than 21 °C, where there is a firm substratum, and where the seawater is not rendered too dark by excessive amoun...
Reef growthSingaporeUrbanizationGlobally, many coral reefs have fallen into negative carbonate budget states, where biological erosion exceeds carbonate production. The compounding effects of urbanization and climate change have caused reductions in coral cover and shifts in community composition that may ...
The loss of coral reefs could have devastating effects on marine biodiversity and the overall health of the oceans. As such, conservation efforts are essential to preserve these critical ecosystems and the myriad of benefits they provide to the environment. In addition to their environmental ...

Also, one can get the best diving experience here. You can swim with sharks on the Osprey reef and observe manta rays, cuttlefish, clownfish, turtles and snakes. Since coral spawning happens between October and November, the best time to visit the reef is between June and December. 2. ...
Taphonomic alteration in coral death assemblages showed high variability with respect to reef environment and growth form at Orpheus Island on the Great Barrier Reef Australia. A greater degree of physical and biological alteration occurred in the lower-energy leeward Pioneer Bay site relative to the ...
