Coral reefs pwp

Editor's Notes

  1. Immediately recognised by its brilliant colour pattern of deep maroon to black, yellow and red pigment. Has two large dorsal fins and a ventral keel. Reaches a maximum length of 100mm. Found in Australia, Arafura Sea and Philippines.
  2. The pygmy seahorse is undoubtedly one of the most well camouflaged species in the oceans and in coral reefs.
  3. Premnas biaculeatus
  4. Fact: Coral reefs are among the oldest ecosystems on Earth. Fact: Coral reefs are the largest living structure on the planet. Fact: Although coral reefs cover less than 1% of the Earth’s surface, they are home to 25% of all marine fish species. Fact: 500 million people rely on coral reefs for their food and livelihoods. Fact: Coral reefs form natural barriers that protect nearby shorelines from the eroding forces of the sea, thereby protecting coastal dwellings, agricultural land and beaches. Fact: Without the existence of coral reefs, parts of Florida would be under water. Fact: Coral reefs have been used in the treatment of cancer, HIV, cardiovascular diseases and ulcers. Fact: Corals' porous limestone skeletons have been used for human bone grafts. Fact: It is estimated that coral reefs provide $375 billion per year around the world in goods and services. Fact: If the present rate of destruction continues, 70% of the world's coral reefs will be destroyed by the year 2050.
