The world's coral reefs(珊瑚礁) are increasingly being threatened, mostly because of human activities. A group of environmental organizations published a report about it. For the first time, it also considered the effect of climate change on these threatened sea organisms. Jane Lubchenco is ...
(藻类) upon which corals(珊瑚虫) depend to leave. That would drain the coral reefs of colour and make the structure more easily broken. These bleaching events can be temporary if waters cool, but the more frequent they are and the longer they last, the greater the risk of irreparable ...

Given the current threat to coral reef ecosystems, we investigated the potential of corals to provide highly specialized habitats for bacterial taxa including those that are rarely detected or absent in surrounding reef waters. The analysis of more than 350,000 small subunit ribosomal RNA (16S rRNA...
live associated with coral reefs. So perhaps it is not too surprising that even more recently an analysis was done that suggests that one third of all coral species are actually at risk of extinction. This makes corals the most endangered animal on the planet, even more endangered than frogs...
Human activity is wreaking havoc on the state of the oceans around the world -- especially on marine life, according to the updated IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
Alarming Biodiversity Devastation: Human-Driven Decline Requires Millions of Years of Recovery The Great Barrier Reef Has Lost Half Its Corals – Massive Declines in Just 3 Decades Harmful Algal Blooms in Arabian Sea Fueled by Shrinking Snowcaps Ecologist Warns: Planting Trees Is No Panacea f...
Sekisei Lagoon is the largest coral reef area in Japan covering an area of almost 15km脳20km. Being situated upstream of Kuroshio Current, coral reefs in this area could supply larvae to downstream such as the Ryukyu Archipelago, facilitating high biodiversity. To conserve corals in such an ...

This could impact kelp forests around the world. For example, it could contribute to further declines of the 8000km long kelp forests that dominate the bottom half of Australia—known as the Great Southern Reef—potentially affecting all the associated ecosystems, including many species of fish, ...
