cod? Butterfly cods are spectacular fish with brilliant colouring and long defensive spiny fins. It is part of the scorpionfish family‚ but unlike other members of this family which often rely on camouflage for protection‚ they swim freely around coral reefs‚ leaving their venomous fins to give them 360 degree protection. They include the firefish (Pterois species) and lionfish (Dendrochirus species). What do they look like? Butterfly cod are characterised by their long‚ spiny fins. The dorsal

oil are less likely to reach the shoreline. However‚ dispersants used on the shoreline could harm corals and other marine life on land because the dispersed oil has a better chance of hitting them. Chemical dispersants causes the oil slick to sink in the water. This can create a far better damage than when it is on the surface. According to the Silliman University team‚ 47‚000 hectares of hard coral in the southern coastal areas of Guimaras were not affected by the oil spill. This means that

‘Compare the nature and rate of change that affect the functioning of TWO different ecosystems at risk.’ An ecosystem is the dynamic complex of plant‚ animal and micro-organism communities and their non-living environment as a functional unit. Ecosystems are systems through which incoming solar energy is captured and channelled through a hierarchy of life forms. Each ecosystem has its own characteristic plant and animal community. Nature of change refers to the natural or human induced change

Coral reefs are known to protect other sea life such as fish and attract tourists. As the ocean water temperature increases‚ corals are experiencing bleaching by ejecting algae‚ which is what gives them the various colors they are known for (Baird). The death of these precious coral reefs are jeopardizing fishing of those species that live off of coral. Coral reefs also create a “roadblock” in the ocean and without them there
