Coral reefs cover only 1% of the ocean floor, but support an estimated 25% of all marine life in the ocean, earning them the moniker ‘rainforest of the sea.’ They also play a critical role for coa…
Some key facts aboutthe Great Barrier Reef Marine Park: covers 344,400 km2in area. includes the world's largest coral reef ecosystem. What animals build coral reefs? Coral reefs provide habitat for a large variety of marine life, including varioussponges, oysters, clams, crabs, sea stars, se...
Coral reefs are a marine ecosystem mainly found near the equator because of its warm temperature and high amount of sunlight. This ecosystem comprises of many coral colonies (i.e., collection of coral, a marine invertebrate related to sea anemone). Estimated hosting more than 1 million species...
Coral reef systems, which areacutelysensitive to changes in temperature and the pH of the water, are already sufferingbleaching events and will increasingly “flicker out” with each a fraction of a degree rise. 珊瑚礁...
A coral reef is a highly productive and dynamic ecosystem. Like a tropical rainforest, they are made up of and provide support for a large portion of the world's biodiversity although they are primarily characterized by reef-building corals....
Globally, coral reef systems are struggling due to stressors like pollution and increasing ocean temperatures. Overall, the longterm health of the marine ecosystem in West Maui is unclear, and marine researchers will continue their quest to understand how the corals were affected and...
A large part of the reef is protected by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park,helps to limit the impact of human use, such as fishing and tourism. Other environmental-pressures on the reef and(it) ecosystem(生态系统) include runoff, climate change and so on.According to a study, the reef...

Identifying the baseline or natural state of an ecosystem is a critical step in effective conservation and restoration. Like most marine ecosystems, coral reefs are being degraded by human activities: corals and fish have declined in abundance and seawee
Coral reefs are a complex ecosystem where many species live together dynamically, including the corals, the algae, the coral fish and so on. Their formation is usually near the coast. Scientists usually classify coral reefs by their locations relative to the seashore and give them different names...
