The coward of the coral reef
The broad barred goby is a coward. A sweeping statement you may say, but even though the goby is poisonous to its predators, the cowardly fish still spends almost all its time cowering in an inaccessible coral home 20-30 cm in diameter. A new study, to be presented to the Society for Experimental biology on Wednesday 3rd April, reveals how the... view more... (2003-04-01)
NOAA report states half of US coral reefs in 'poor' or 'fair' condition
Nearly half of U.S. coral reef ecosystems are considered to be in "poor" or "fair" condition according to a new NOAA analysis of the health of coral reefs under U.S. jurisdiction. view more (2008-07-08)
Tiny 'housekeeper' crabs help prevent coral death in South Pacific
Tiny crabs that live in South Pacific coral help to prevent the coral from dying by providing regular cleaning "services" that may be critical to the life of coral reefs around the world, according to scientists from the University of California, Santa Barbara. view more (2006-10-24)
Corals face 'a stormy future'
As global warming whips up more powerful and frequent hurricanes and storms, the world's coral reefs face increased disruption to their ability to breed and recover from damage. view more (2009-06-23)
In the turf war against seaweed, coral reefs more resilient than expected

Caribbean corals decline 80% in 25 years
Coral reefs across the Caribbean have suffered a phenomenal 80% decline in their coral cover during the past three decades, reveals new research from the University of East Anglia (UEA) and the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research, published this week in the international online journal Science Express. The amount of reef covered by hard... view more... (2003-07-17)
Indo-Pacific coral reefs disappearing more rapidly than expected
Corals in the central and western Pacific ocean are dying faster than previously thought, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill researchers have found. view more (2007-08-08)
The Pied Piper of Fish
Fishy noises could be the answer for improved reef fisheries management according to an international team of researchers. Some juvenile coral reef fish are attracted by sounds they would have heard while they were in the egg. By using these sounds, the fish can be led to artificial reefs where they will start new colonies. It may be possible in... view more... (2003-06-03)
Healthy coral reefs of Madagascar resisting damage from climate change
Healthy coral reefs of Madagascar's northeast coast have so far resisted the damaging effects of warmer ocean temperatures attributed to global climate change, say scientists who recently studied the region. view more (2006-06-23)
Illegal destruction of coral reefs worsened impact of tsunami
The illegal mining of corals off the southwest coast of Sri Lanka permitted far more onshore destruction from the 26 December 2004 tsunami than occurred in nearby areas whose coral reefs were intact. view more (2005-08-16)

Tsunami-damaged coral reefs should be left to recover naturally, say scientists
CORAL reefs damaged in the Asian tsunami tragedy should be allowed to recover naturally before countries launch into expensive restoration plans, according to some of the world's leading scientists. view more (2005-05-11)
Butterfly fish 'may face extinction'

While global warming is fatal to many reefs, some corals are able to fight the heat, Cornell researcher reports
While humans can survive large temperature fluctuations, such species as corals are only comfortable within a 12-degree temperature range. And rising global temperatures appear to be threatening their survival, according to Drew Harvell, Cornell professor of ecology and evolutionary biology. view more (2007-03-05)
Long-term recovery of reefs from bleaching requires local action to increase resilience
In the journal Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science, University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science Professor Dr. Peter Glynn, and 2008 Pew Fellow for Marine Conservation and Assistant Professor Dr. Andrew Baker, assess more than 25 years of data on reef ecosystems recovery from climate change-related episodes of coral... view more...

Protection zones in the wrong place to prevent coral reef collapse
Conservation zones are in the wrong place to protect vulnerable coral reefs from the effects of global warming, an international team of scientists warned today. view more (2008-08-28)
