Encouraged by that, but not being a diver, Ive made it a point to snorkel and take glass-bottomed boats to look at reefs whenever they are present. All along, Ive wondered why he found the skin diving to be so wonderful. Now, I know. Coral Reefs exposes a world of vivid and bizarre colors and shapes that I had never imagined could exist. Having also listened to more talks about coral than I care to remember, I was also pleasantly surprised to learn a lot more than I knew before about the development of the reefs and the ecological challenges they face.

Ecology of Coral Reefs Home Distribution Systematics Ecology Threats Conservation Coral reefs are some of the most precious and awe-inspiring spots on earth. Nurtured by warm, tropical waters, these reefs are home to some of the richest ecosystems on the planet. In fact, they are so rich in marine life that they have been referred to as tropical rain forests of the ocean (Gralla and Plumlee, 1994). Coral reefs are very productive marine communities and play a critical role as habitat and nursery grounds for ten to twenty percent of the worlds fisheries ( www.esa.sdsc.edu ). They generally require clear, warm water and high light intensity for survival. This limits them to shallow water, with maximum diversity occurring between ten to twenty meters below the surface. High salt content, low wave movement or current, and little sedimentation are also factors for survival. Coral reefs are created by colonies of small living organisms called polyps .Within each polyp are small photosynthetic algae called zooxanthellae. Zooxanthellae receives protection from predators by living in the polyps.The polyps secrete calcium carbonate around themselves and this complex; rock-like reef framework provides a sheltering place and feeding grounds for many organisms that inhabit the reef. Zooxanthellae promotes calcification of the polyps which contributes to faster building of the reef under optimum conditions. Corals and zooxanthellae have a symbiotic relationship. During photosynthesis the algae provide food to the coral and in return the corals give a protective home to the zooxanthellae. The coral releases carbon dioxide that the zooxanthellae use during photosynthesis. In return,the zooxanthellae release oxygen and carbon dioxide that the coral uses for respiration. The coral excretes mineral wastes and carbon dioxide.The zooxanthellae inside the coral uses uses nitrogen and phosphorus from the coral's waste.During photsynthesesis the algae incorporates carbon dioxide from the coral into rich organic matter for sustainance of both the algae and the coral. The color is due to the color of the zooxanthellae living inside it.

They are found in the warm, clear, shallow waters of tropical oceans worldwide. Reefs have functions ranging from providing food and shelter to fish and invertebrates to protecting the shore from erosion. Through symbiosis with unicellular algae ( zooxanthellae ), reef-building corals are the source of primary production in reef communities (

Overview of Ecology of Coral Reefs in Hawai,'i Brian N. Tissot Kalakaua Marine Education Center A. Uniqueness of Hawaiian Ecology The ecology of coral reefs in Hawai'i is unique compared to reefs in other tropical areas. Hawaiian reefs are unique for several reasons: 1. They are geologically young and therefore not as well developed as other reefs. Most reefs in the windward islands of Hawai'i, Maui, O'ahu and Kaua'i are small and occur relatively close to shore. As these reefs grow and develop they are called fringing reefs, which eventually develop into barrier reefs, which occur in Kaneohe Bay on O'ahu and on the south shore of Moloka'i. There is a general westward trend towards greater reef development which coincides with the geologic ages of the islands. Superimposed upon this pattern, however, is the effects of wave exposure: in general more sheltered leeward coasts have reefs with greater coral cover than wave-pounded windward coasts (see Grigg, 1983 Narrow coral reef at Puako on the Big Island, typical of young Hawaiian coral reefs 2. As a consequence of their younger age and the general absence of barrier reefs in the windward islands, Hawaiian reefs are generally less productive than other reefs. With smaller reef areas and the absence of lagoons that trap and retain both coastal and terrestrial runoff, Hawaiian reefs are generally more nutrient poor and therefore lack a high abundance of filter feeding animals such as soft corals, sponges, tunicates, and bivalves. As a result, Hawaiian reefs are more clearly dominated by corals.

The Hawaiian Reef Ecosystem Brian N. Tissot Marine Education Center University of Hawai’i at Hilo "Hanau ka 'Uku-ko'ako'a, Hanau kana, he Ako'ako'a, puka" [Born the coral polyp , Born of him a coral colony emerged] Kumulipo, The Hawaiian Hymn of Creation, compiled by Rubellite Kawena Johnson, 1981 Introduction Coral reefs are unique among marine communities. In addition to being spectacular displays of nature's creativity, coral reefs are reservoirs of biological diversity and are truly the "tropical rain forests of the sea." Coral reefs are also one of the most productive and diverse assemblages on Earth and are important economic resources for many tropical regions of the world, especially islands. For example, in 1991 in Hawai’i, reefs supported over $200 million in revenues from commercial, recreational and subsistence fisheries and $50 million in marine-related tourism. (Hunter, 1995). In addition, reefs buffer shorelines from waves, hurricanes and tsunamis, and generate sediments which create beaches. However, throughout the world, reefs are being threatened with a variety of human impacts and therefore are at risk of destruction (Richmond, 1993). In order to successfully protect our reefs we must first understand their history and ecology: how they develop and what factors influence their growth and development. Accordingly, this chapter will first survey the geologic history of reefs then move on to their ecology. I will conclude by examining human impacts on reef ecosystems and steps that are being taken to more effectively manage and conserve our reefs.

ECOLOCY Coral reefs The ocean (previous page) Reef formation Coral reefs on earth Types of reefs Reef morphology Top End Next Reef formation The prime reef builders are the stony or hard corals (subphylum Anthozoa). Reefs are formed by the skeletons of the tiny coral polyps. A coral polyps consist of a fleshy sack with a ring of tentacles which sits in a limestone skeletal case, secreted by the polyp. Reef-building corals have evolved an indispensable symbiotic relationship with a type of brown algae called zoxanthellae (Symbiodinium microadriaticum). Millions of these single-celled algae are living as symbionts within their tissues (hermatypic corals). Zooxanthellae produce sugars and oxygen through photosynthesis thus helping the coral in the process of producing limestone or calcium carbonate. Corals grow up to three times faster with the help of the zooxanthellae. Zooxanthellae give the corals their characteristic greenish color. A change of environmental conditions such as higher temperatures or a change in salinity but also disease can cause the polyps to expel the algae. The coral becomes totally white (= coral bleaching). If the coral regains some algae it might survive, but bleaching can be irreversible and then the coral dies.
