Webber the importance of biodiversity in our ecosystem was explained and an even more detailed observation of the major threats to the biodiversity were highlighted. Of the twenty four top causes‚ climate change‚ environmental degradation‚ conservation issues and exploitation of energy reserves were deemed the most contributing. With the exception

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

In your own dialect‚ you have local names for the edible things on the reef but there is no name for sponges‚ ascidians‚ and nudibranchs which you have no use for. There are only general names for corals‚ sharks‚ etc. In Fiji‚ we have no names for the deepsea snappers because we never caught and eat them but in Hawaii and Kiribati‚ you have different names for different deepsea snappers

They are distributed in tropical and subtropical regions around the world. The seahorse habitat is any underwater area with lots of things they can grab onto with their tails and blend into for hiding. Often they prefer an eelgrass‚ kelp‚ coral‚ rock and mangrove environment. The Seahorse prefers a tropical or temperate oceans. There are no known freshwater Seahorses

Climate Change and the Coral Reefs A research study in Australia revealed that Philippines is rich in marine biodiversity which is connected to other marine ecosystems in the Pacific ocean. Filipino marine students are now studying the decreasing count of coral reefs which will have a great impact on our lives in the future.
