On a world scale coral reefs are in decline. Over the last 30-40 years 80% of coral in the Caribbean have been destroyed and 50% in Indonesia and the Pacific. Bleaching associated with the 1982 -1983 El-Nino killed over 95% of coral in the Galapagos I
In this article, we'll learn what global warming is, what causes it, what its current effects are and what the future effects could be. Although there has been a scientific consensus on global warming, some aren't sure it's something we need to worry about. We'll examine some proposed ...

How does ocean warming affect coral reefs? How does ocean acidification affect marine producers? How does the water cycle affect climate change? How does rising sea levels affect coral reefs? How does the thermocline of a body of water change with latitude?
How do changes in global temperature affect ocean acidification? What are some long-term effects of ocean acidification for Earth? How do factories contribute to ocean acidification? How has ocean acidification affected the U.K.? What are the benefits of ocean acidification?
Since 1981, FKNMS has been pioneering the installation and maintenance ofMooring buoys, which are alternatives to boat anchoring that can damage or even break apart the coral reefs. These buoys provide information and navigational assistance in areas with specific regulations. Also, discharge of pollu...
Despite this, the Australian Institute of Marine Science found that, whilst many parts of the reef are in good condition, “the number of such reefs has been declining over time. And the number of reefs in poor condition is increasing.” Technology company Coral Maker is determined to help ...
The study also acknowledged the potential negative effects of tourism on the marine environment, such as impacts on the health of local coral reefs and of the sharks. It concluded that further studies were needed to assess these impacts before firm conclusion could be drawn regarding the positive...
As global warming threatens their existence, there are widespread concerns regarding the persistence of lime-sand islands and the future of mid-ocean atoll nations. To investigate how climate change has affected lime-sand islands, changes in vegetation and other characteristics of such islands in the...
effects could be. Although there has been a scientific consensus on global warming, some aren't sure it's something we need to worry about. We'll examine some proposed changes in the United States' national policies related to curbing global warming and the criticisms and concerns surrounding ...
