been an increase in invertebrate attacks on coral communities in marine parks‚ the result of over harvesting of predators and an imbalance in the marine ecology‚ Chu said. Clusters of delicate marine organisms form coral reefs in a process that may take millions of years. The reefs are built up from the calcium carbonate‚ secreted by tiny animals which secrete the bone like material as an exoskeleton. Often called the rainforests of the sea‚ coral reefs are some of the most diverse ecosystems

we have studied and drawn up. The problem with taking these very important ions out of the water is that they are one of the two compounds that calcifiers‚ very small organisms‚ need to survive. Calcifiers‚ which are the base of pretty much every coral reef on the planet‚ need to make shells which is part of their colonies skeleton. This leaves a decision for calcifiers to make: should I expend more energy capturing the decreasing amount of carbonate ions or just give up. Studies show that most calcifiers

Overfishing is a major problem that affects the ecosystem and it occurs when fishing activities reduce fish stocks below an acceptable level. Overfishing can occur in any body of water from a pond to an ocean. Overfishing is also a non-sustainable use of oceans. The populations of many commercial fish species are severely depleted because of overfishing. Overfishing originated after World War II‚ which lead to expanding markets‚ newer technologies‚ and increased accuracy in finding fish (The Nature

In contrast‚ the flow and force of storm waves is responsible for the removal/movement of large coral pieces (transportation) and its placement in other parts of the reef (deposition).

Seahorses are very slow‚ they have a top speed of about 5 feet per hour (3). Seahorses are found in shallow areas‚ near the coral reefs‚ seagrass beds etc. They swim by using small fins on their back and behind their heads.
