The Pacific Ocean (太平洋) is the largest of the world’s four oceans. The Coral Sea (珊瑚海) is in the Pacific Ocean and is home to one of nature’s greatest wonders, the Great Barrier Reef (大堡礁). And the reef is now in danger. It is the world’s largest coral reef system...
The Pacific Ocean proper (see map, right) is one of three subdivisions of the larger Indo-Pacific region of coral reef development discussed elsewhere on this website. Pacific diving opportunities are practically limitless, as the Pacific Ocean is by far the largest of the world’s oceans, fil...
按照礁体和海岸线的关系,可以将珊瑚礁分为岸礁(Fringing Reef)、堡礁(Barrier Reef)以及环礁(atoll)。 岸礁(Fringing Reef)也被叫做边缘礁和裙礁,沿着大陆或者岛屿的岸边发育生长,在我国海南岛沿岸就有岸礁的存在。 堡礁(Barrier Reef)亦称堤礁,顾名思义就是离海岸边有一段距离的堤状礁体,前文说的大堡礁就...
In this work we assess the diversity of the Pacific Ocean reef microbiome. To do so, we designed a systematic basin-scale sampling strategy that targeted 3 types of organisms, which fulfil crucial ecological roles on coral reefs: corals, fish, and plankton31,32. We conducted an unprecedented ...
The supply of nitrogen to the late Pleistocene reef appears dominated by upwelling of subsurface nitrogen during cool dry events, supplemented with nitrogen from island-induced N-2 fixation (27 +/- 3%) during warm wet periods. For the modern corals, N-2 fixation supplies nitrogen to the ...
Coral Reef Info was made to provide a concise, science-based overview of the structure, ecology, and marine life of coral reefs.

An atoll is the third type of reef. An atoll forms in a circular pattern around an old sinking island. As the island ages and sinks,the atoll forms a lagoon in the middle of the circle. The largest atoll, in the western pacific has a lagoon measurin...
The expanse of landscape and reef scape that traverses Palau has captivated divers for decades, and as a nation, Palau stands out as a leader in traditional stewardship and ocean conservation. Palau serves as the backdrop for our story that follows solidified partnerships between a scientific grou...
or corals and other reef organisms that look “healthy but are actually sterile and dead—so they cannot reproduce.” such uv-absorbing compounds can also contribute to coral bleaching, which occurs when the life-sustaining algae that normally lives on coral vanishes, due to changes in ocean ...
