Coral Reef

As per on-going reports about 2 relevant journals, 19 open access articles, 39 conference proceeding, 12 upcomig conferences and 3 national symposiums are presently dedicated exclusively to coral reef.

Coral reefs are diverse underwater ecosystems held together by calcium carbonate structures secreted by corals. Coral reefs are built by colonies of tiny animals found in marine waters that contain few nutrients. Most coral reefs are built from stony corals, which in turn consist of polyps that cluster in groups. The polyps belong to a group of animals known as Cnidaria, which also includes sea anemones and jellyfish.

Importance of Coral reef:

Coral reefs deliver ecosystem services to tourism, fisheries and coastline protection. The global economic value of coral reefs has been estimated to be between US $29.8 billion and $375 billion per year. Coral reefs protect shorelines by absorbing wave energy, and many small islands would not exist without their reefs to protect them. Nearly two-thirds of the coral reefs in the Middle East region are at risk from local threats (i.e., coastal development, overfishing/destructive fishing, marine pollution, and/or watershed-based pollution). The greatest pressure is in the Persian Gulf, where more than 85 percent of reefs are considered threatened. Coral reef ecosystems have great economic, social and cultural importance to many nations and entire regions. According to one estimate, coral reefs provide almost $375 billion worth of ecosystem services to humans, from living resources such as fish, as well as tourism and coastal protection. These extremely valuable ecosystems constitute the economic base and future hope for sustained development in many countries, particularly small island nations. The United States has strong political and economic interests in protecting international coral reefs. Tourism revenues generated by coral reefs are also significant. Tourists visiting the Florida Keys in the US generate at least US$3 billion dollars in annual income, while Australia’s Great Barrier Reef generates well over US$1 billion per year
