Conservation Challenges in Bleaching and Degradation of Coral Reefs Ecosystem

Abstract

The coral reefs that surround the world were created by millions of tiny coral polyps over thousands of years as a gift to humanity. Reefs provide food for people, resources for scientific research, and a wealth of leisure activities. Reefs require our care because we depend on them, thus we should definitely protect them for future generations. Algal cover and coral death can be adversely affected by nutrient enrichment of remaining coral bleaching due to temperature stress, grazers, algal colonization and most influencing in an imbalance between production and consumption will outcome in community structure changes.
