Coral Reefs

Friday, October 5th, 2007

Coral reefs are living, underwater gardens that form the backbone of underwater life in some areas of the world. They are made of coral skeletons and even though they look stagnant, they are actually very much alive. This means that when you dive or snorkel underwater to take a look at these coral reefs, you need to be careful not to disturb anything. They are very slow at growing and at the rate that they are getting disturbed, they don’t grow back as quickly. This means that coral reefs are actually in danger of being depleted.

Coral Reef Fish

Sunday, September 30th, 2007

It is a beautiful think to go scuba diving or snorkeling and view the underground life that most of us don’t realize exists. Coral reefs and coral reef fish are amongst those things that you can find underwater. Coral reefs look like solid, rock-like structures. However, they are not rock but rather a living substance and the coral is its exoskeleton. There are certain fish that live near the reefs because they take shelter in and around the animal. The whole dynamic is incredibly fascinating.

The Great Barrier Reef

The Great Barrier Reef is a beautiful natural wonder. It is actually the world’s largest coral reefs. Coral reefs are located throughout the world and grow as long as the conditions are right. In general the water and climate needs to be warm and they need to grow in places that do not see a lot of wave action. Waves can damage them and so can the colder waters. It is so amazing that coral found the situation so ideal in a certain part of the world to be able to grow in such a vast manner.

Endangered Coral Reefs

Thursday, September 20th, 2007

In general, endangered coral reefs are a difficult thing to understand. When people encounter coral reefs they may not be thinking in terms of harming them deliberately. But the problem is, hurting the reefs is very easy because they get damaged when there is movement around them or if they are touched. This normally wouldn’t be a problem but when the reefs are damaged it takes them a while to grow back. They are currently endangered because they are getting depleted by things such as pollution, movement, and human interruption than they are being created.
