Artificial Reefs Vs Artificial Reef

In conclusion, coral is a single; it’s made up of thousands of ploys. Which secrete the limestones that attaches to rock or ocean bed and keeps them in the places where they came. That’s why if we stop the main cause of this--fishermen-- we’ll be able to see the coral reefs. The central idea of the article, “ Ingenious Coralbots May Help Restore Coral Reefs”, is that humans should stop taking the coral reefs from their

I have been interested in marine sciences since I was a child. I grew up in and around the water. Being a resident of South Florida, and an avid boater, I have seen the degradation of the Florida reef system. I was fortunate enough that my parents were able to

Kristen Marhaver: How we’re growing baby corals to rebuild reef Many people may describe their jobs as difficult and strenuous, but as Kristen Marhaver said “people aren 't the only ones in our communities who do these difficult jobs”. Coral reefs take on similar jobs as humans, they provide food for sea life, income, and safety from tropical storms and other possibly dangerous weather. In Marhaver talk she informed the audience about the basics of coral reefs however, her talk lacked purpose, and although she presented with a strong voice, she seemed nervous, and her talk was generally unhelpful to the audience.

Coral Reefs are found all over the world Currently, The Great Barrier Reef is being overfished. Fisheries are using outdated policies that allow too many fishing licenses to be distributed and few limits on how they can fish. The anchors drop onto the reef can rip the coral out of the ocean floor and damage other organisms living there. If fishing in the reef continues at this rate, there will not be enough fish to sustain the population of other species that eat the fish. The reef will also lose one of it’s most fascinating qualities, the marine species that call the Great Barrier Reef

Not all beaches are as beautiful as the next, but the need of help for marine animal’s lives are all the same. Each time I have been able to take a closer look into the ecosystem of the ocean by snorkeling my love for it has grown. Nature is one of the major ways I am able to relax and enjoy life and if I can do anything to make sure that humans do not destroy it I will take actions. Many people do not understand that the ocean’s fate is the same as ours. I can do a small part to make sure there is hope for everyone when I become a marine

An issue that interests me is the destruction of coral. Many of the coral reefs all around the world are being destroyed, but I want to focus on the coral reefs in Grand Cayman. The beaches of Cayman are constantly being traveled by boats, jet-skis, and cruise ships that allow

There are patch reefs up and down from the Keys through Palm Beach County, where I live. But North America’s only living corral barrier reef lies six miles seaward of the Florida Keys (Reef Relief). These coral reefs are composed of outer reefs and patch reefs, and contain over fifty

Impact from SCUBA Diving Researchers have concluded recreation divers cause significant deterioration to coral reef.24-26 However some major diving companies such as BSAC still deny that SCUBA divers are damaging to the environment (Louise Whitehouse, personal communication, January 28, 2015) and some SCUBA divers do not think diving causes ecological damage.27 There is no denying that SCUBA divers damage coral reef to some extent, some will kick it or bump into it, therefore the question is whether they cause significant damage. Damage will usually be minor but there is evidence that the cumulative effects can cause more serious declines in coral health.24,28,29 SCUBA diving is constantly increasing in interest, the equipment is becoming

The most beautiful ecosystem, coral reefs, are dying. Fortunately, there are policies in place to protect our reefs like the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary. However, these polices alone aren’t enough to protect and restore our reef ecosystems. I propose that to preserve the reefs, we increase our protection by growing the amount of National Marine Sanctuaries (NMS), encouraging and funding scientific research, improving partnerships, and enhancing the public education and involvement. This can be accomplished in the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary (FGBNMS) through continuation and improvement of established programs within the United States Coral Reef Task Force (USCRTF) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric

the ocean depend on reefs for food and shelter. They also are very important for those of us who

The earth can be sorted into two masses; water and land. The earth’s oceans make up of 71% of its surface and within that vast amount of water lives an amazing ecosystem know as coral reefs. Coral reefs can be coastal or deep water, each are equally important. Coral reefs are home to many species such as fish, corals, sharks, dolphins and whales, birds, and turtles. When I think of a coral reef my mind goes straight to the movie, Finding Nemo, and how at the beginning of the movie they show you the world of a coral reef. The colors are spectacular and it is full of life, lots of life actually. These ecosystems are extremely essential to our world for the reason that they provide more than just homes for many underwater species. Within the past decade scientists have started using marine organisms from coral reefs to create medicines to possibly cure day to day ailments such as; asthma, arthritis, and other inflammatory disorders (Nature.org, Coral Reefs, No date). Medicinal use is one part

Consisting of less than 1% of the world oceans, the coral reefs are ancient animals comprising of thin calcium carbonate deposits within the photic layer. Aside from its biologically diverse ecosystems, coral reefs are major source of food for millions and provides habitats and nursery areas for many marine organisms. Coral reefs also act as a physical buffer to protect the coastlines from tropical storms and erosion. In addition, many local communities rely on coral reefs to generate an income through activities such as fishing and diving. However, 75% of the coral reefs are under threat from induced impacts of humans and climate change (Burke, et al., 2011). This essay looks at the human impacts constantly being inflicted on coral reefs.

One solution to stopping this cycle is to educate the local community about why conservation of marine spaces that include coral reefs is important.[7] Once the local communities understand the personal stakes at risk then they will actually fight to preserve the reefs. Conserving coral reefs has many economic, social, and ecological benefits, not only for the people who live on these islands, but for people throughout the world as well.

Fifteen years from now I picture myself loading SCUBA gear into an old, beaten up dive boat. I feel the morning breeze dissipate from my skin as I pull my wetsuit up to my waist. The salty air whips through my hair as we navigate through the winding canals of

“Coral reefs represent some of the world’s most spectacular beauty spots, but they are also the foundation of marine life: without them many of the seas most exquisite species will not survive.” (Sheherazade Goldsmith) Imagine scuba diving in the glistening coasts of the Philippines, swimming swiftly near the vibrant coral reefs with splashes of red, orange, and green. Submerged by the beauty of the underwater world, fishes of all species come inspect their new visitor while you watch in awe at this fantasy world. However, all of a sudden you see a huge wave rushing towards you, you try to swim away from it but. Boom! You get hit by wave, a bit dazed you descend quickly to the top of the ocean. Then you notice a vast amount of dead
