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 (2008-08-27)
Global warming may have damaged coral reefs forever
Global warming has had a more devastating effect on some of the world's finest coral reefs than previously assumed, suggests the first report to show the long-term impact of sea temperature rise on reef coral and fish communities. view more (2006-05-16)
Major international study warns global warming is destroying coral reefs and calls for 'drastic actions'
If world leaders do not immediately engage in a race against time to save the Earth's coral reefs, these vital ecosystems will not survive the global warming and acidification predicted for later this century. That is the conclusion of a group of marine scientists from around the world in a major new study published in the journal Science on Dec.... view more... (2007-12-26)
Starfish outbreak threatens corals
Outbreaks of the notorious crown of thorns starfish now threaten the "coral triangle," the richest center of coral reef biodiversity on Earth, according to recent surveys by the Bronx Zoo-based Wildlife Conservation Society and ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies. view more (2008-01-15)
NASA satellite data helps assess the health of Florida's coral reef
NASA satellite data was used to help monitor the health of Florida's coral reef as part of a field research effort completed this August and September. view more (2006-10-04)
Urgent action on international coral reef crisis
Coral reef scientists and policy makers from the world's most prominent coral reef nations are meeting in Australia this week to develop urgent action plans to rescue the world's richest centre of marine biodiversity from gradual decline. view more (2008-11-10)
WWF Study Says Climate Change Could Displace Millions In Asia's Coral Triangle
Coral reefs could disappear entirely from the Coral Triangle region of the Pacific Ocean by the end of the century, threatening the food supply and livelihoods for about 100 million people, according to a new study from World Wildlife Fund. view more (2009-05-14)
Marine conservation organizations team up to conduct Indonesia coral reefs assessment
Three leading marine conservation organizations will complete an extensive survey next week along the west coast of Aceh Province, Indonesia, to determine the impact of last year's devastating earthquake and tsunami on the region's coral reefs. view more (2005-10-13)
Coralreef fish desperately need mangrove forests and seagrass fields
Biologists from the University of Nijmegen have demonstrated that some coral fish really do choose nursery grounds before heading for the coral reef. According to the researchers, managers of the waters around the Caribbean islands must devote more attention to the coast as a whole and not just to the protection of coral reefs. Up until now... view more... (2002-11-15)
Studies shed light on collapse of coral reefs
An explosion of knowledge has been made in the last few years about the basic biology of corals, researchers say in a new report, helping to explain why coral reefs around the world are collapsing and what it will take for them to survive a gauntlet of climate change and ocean acidification. view more (2009-05-29)
Dissolved organic matter in the water column may influence coral health
Bacterial communities endemic to healthy corals could change depending on the amount and type of natural and man-made dissolved organic matter in seawater, report researchers from The University of Texas at Austin Marine Science Institute and Mote Marine Laboratory in Sarasota, Florida. view more (2008-03-05)
IODP scientists acquire 'treasure trove' of climate records off Tahiti coast
An international team of scientists, supported by the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program, reunited at the University of Bremen to analyze a trove of coral fossil samples retrieved from Tahitian waters during October and November 2005. view more (2006-03-02)

Health of Acehnese reefs in the wake of the tsunami shows human impacts more harmful
According to research reported this week in Current Biology, tsunami damage to coral reefs closest to the epicenter of the 2004 Sumatra-Andaman earthquake was occasionally spectacular, but surprisingly limited, particularly when compared to damage from chronic human misuse in the region. view more (2005-11-08)
Researchers appeal for new regulations to save coral reefs from live fish trade
Researchers are calling for tighter controls on the live reef fish trade, a growing threat to coral reefs, in letters to the international journal Science. view more (2006-08-07)
Stormy Days Ahead for Coral Reefs
The increasing violence of storms under global climate change will have major effects on coral reefs - and has important implications for their future management. view more (2006-11-29)
Light pollution offers new global measure of coral reef health
We've all seen the satellite images of Earth at night--the bright blobs and shining webs that tell the story of humanity's endless sprawl. view more (2008-11-25)
Scientists discover new reefs teeming with marine life in Brazil
Scientists announced today the discovery of reef structures they believe doubles the size of the Southern Atlantic Ocean's largest and richest reef system, the Abrolhos Bank, off the southern coast of Brazil's Bahia state. The newly discovered area is also far more abundant in marine life than the previously known Abrolhos reef system, one of the... view more... (2008-07-09)
