erosion. Several million people live in U.S. coastal areas adjacent to or near coral reefs‚ and the well-being of their communities and economies is directly dependent on the health of nearby coral reefs. Reefs also protect the highly productive mangrove fisheries and wetlands along the coast‚ as well as ports and harbors and the economies they support. Globally‚ half a billion people are estimated to live within 100 kilometers of a coral reef and benefit from its production and protection. As

Introduction A forest is a complex ecosystem which is predominantly composed of trees‚ shrubs and is usually a closed canopy. Forests are storehouses of a large variety of life forms such as plants‚ mammals‚ birds‚ insects and reptiles etc. Also the forests have abundant microorganisms and fungi‚ which do the important work of decomposing dead organic matter thereby enriching the soil. Nearly 4billion hectares of forest cover the earth’s surface‚ roughly 30 percent of its total land area.The forest

What are the effects of deep water offshore oil drilling in the United States? How do they impact our environment? It is believed that there are many positive effects of offshore oil drilling‚ such as the reduction of spending in importing oil from other countries‚ eradicating dependence on another country for oil‚ creation of more jobs through oil rigs‚ and the lowering of gas prices. However‚ the negative effects resulting from oil drilling in the United States outweigh the benefits. For example
