Coral reefs are the 'rain forests' of the ocean, containing the
highest diversity of marine organisms and facing the greatest
threats from humans. As shallow-water coastal habitats, they
support a wide range of economically and culturally important
activities, from fishing to tourism. Their accessibility makes
reefs vulnerable to local threats that include over-fishing,
pollution and physical damage. Reefs also face global problems,
such as climate change, which may be responsible for recent
widespread coral mortality and increased frequency of hurricane
damage. This book, first published in 2006, summarises the state of
knowledge about the status of reefs, the problems they face, and
potential solutions. The topics considered range from concerns
about extinction of coral reef species to economic and social
issues affecting the well-being of people who depend on reefs. The
result is a multi-disciplinary perspective on problems and
solutions to the coral reef crisis.
