    Extractions: Coral reefs are, without a doubt, one of the true natural treasures of our earth. They are home to an enormous variety of life forms, which is why they are often compared with tropical rainforests. Coral reefs need sunlight and warm water to exist. As a result, we only find coral reefs between the 30th parallels north and south of the equator. The minimum temperature that tropical corals can exist at is 20 degree C. Coral reefs are a complex system of uncountable micro-living spaces. In addition to the visible plants and animals, there are millions of nearly invisible, microscopic organisms that reside in these micro-caves and crevices inside of the coral blocks. Also, legions of tiny creatures called 'zooplankton' live directly above the reef. These creatures are an essential link in the reef food chain. Coral reefs are now facing the threat of massive destruction on a global scale. Fishing with dynamite and cyanide, specifically in Indonesia and the Philippines, has destroyed countless reefs already. As a result of global warming, more and more of the phenomenon known as 'coral bleaching' is also occurring. When bleaching takes place, the symbiotic algae in the corals are expelled and the corals become transparent. When this happens, it becomes possible to see through to the white limestone underneath, hence the name 'coral bleaching'. Most of the corals will eventually recover from the bleaching, but if the warmer water temperatures last too long, the corals will be destroyed forever.

    Extractions: Travel to the islands of Fiji to learn about coral reefs, and help aid in their conservation. Interns will learn and apply research techniques specific for monitoring of coral reefs. Your efforts in Fiji will be focused on beginning a monitoring program for coral reefs. You will be taught coral species identification, quadrant surveying techniques for coral reef environments, and data analysis. Coral species identification requires a serious commitment; study outside the classroom and practice in the field will be needed to master the indicator species for Fiji. Systematic quadrant surveys will be undertaken at two specific coral reef study sites. Location This internship will begin on Fiji's Coral Coast, where interns will receive their dive certification (the cost for this certification is included within your program tuition). Located approximately 1.5 hours from Suva by bus, this area of coastline produces some of the most amazing sunsets you'll ever see. The dive certification will take approximately four days to complete. From the Coral Coast, interns will move on to Yanuca Island. The Coral Coast is in the rain shadow of some of the drier, mountainous areas of Fiji's largest island, Viti Levu. Yanuca Island boasts some excellent coral reefs, and your explorations of the second reef area will provide some insight into regional variation among coral reef habitats.

    Extractions: Al final del pasaje se detalla el significado de las palabras resaltadas. It is possible that coral is being killed by human diseases. Indeed, humans may be passing forms of cholera and other human infections which are slowly destroying the coral reefs. Scientists have been studying the coral reefs off the Gulf of Mexico and have discovered an increase in the number of coral infections. In 1996, researchers found sickly reefs in twenty four places. By 1998 this number had increased to over one hundred. Many coral diseases have not been fully identified yet but in the meantime they have been given names such as ‘ bleaching ’, ‘white plague’, ‘white pox’ and ‘black band’. Professor Porter says: ‘These are the cries and whispers which, when you look at the ocean carefully and really think about what is going on, begin to

    Extractions: Corals are comprised of colonies of tiny animals called polyps , which belong to the phylum Cnidaria . Each polyp resembles a small sea anemone and uses its stinging tentacles to paralyze and feed on plankton Polyps secrete calcium carbonate, which forms the skeleton of coral and the framework of coral reefs. Corals have a symbiotic relationship with microscopic algae called zooxanthellae that live inside each polyp. Zooxanthellae are photosynthetic and convert sunlight and carbon dioxide into oxygen and carbohydrates. This provides nutrients for the polyp , which in return provides a secure environment with access to sunlight for the zooxanthellae Montastrea cavernosa

    Extractions: When asexual reproduction occurrs, individuals originate from only one adult and therefore have the same genes. Such individuals are genetically alike and are known as clones . Sometimes asexually reproduced individuals exist totally seperated from each other. This is the case for different generations of algae that are created from spores [Watch a plumose anemone divide (1,7 MB)] Plumose anemones reproduce by division. (Try playing the movie back and forth by moving the clip.) In warmer tropical waters, it is the colony building cnidarians that are responsible for building the massive and fantastic coral reefs. This colony building ability is even important in more temperate areas of the globes hard bottom environments, even if these colonies of cnidarins are not as large and dominant as here Page 12 of 52 Cliffs and rocks are fantastic!

Yentsch, Charles S. Institution: Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution, Inc. Plankton Research and Instruments EPA Project Officer: Perovich, Gina Project Period: October 14, 2002 through October 13, 2004 Project Amount: Research Category: Ecology and Oceanography of Harmful Algal Blooms (ECOHAB) Over the past several decades, macroalgal blooms have degraded the biodiversity and growth of coral reef ecosystems experiencing anthropogenic nutrient enrichment. This problem has reached a critical stage in southeast Florida where blooms of Codium isthmocladum in the early 1990's were followed by a succession of Caulerpa spp. between 1998 and 2001 on fringing reefs in 20 to 50 m depths. Preliminary evidence supports the hypothesis that the decade-long succession of macroalgal blooms is linked to increasing land-based discharges of ammonium derived from sewage via groundwaters and ocean outfalls. To date, little is known of the seasonal patterns in growth and photosynthesis of

    http://www.elenas-vieques.com/coral.html
    
    Extractions: Corals belong to the animal kingdom, and are members of the same group of animals as jellyfish and sea anemones ( Phylum: Cnidaria ). The actual coral animal or 'polyp' is soft bodied, with tentacles like a sea anemone. The main difference is that corals secrete an external calcium carbonate skeleton and sea anemones do not. This hard skeleton forms the framework of coral reefs. The tiny coral polyps occupy little cups or corallites in the massive skeleton. Corals can be colonial or solitary and there are several hundred species, some are large and branching and grow rapidly at a rate of up to 10cm per year, while others are mound shaped, growing slowly at only 1cm per year. In addition to the hard corals, there are a variety of soft corals like this common sea fan (Gorgonia ventalina). The calcium carbonate skeleton of soft corals is located within their bodies, allowing them to move with the wave action. Sea fans typically grow so that the wave action is moving over the broad plane of their bodies, so all of the sea fans in an area will be oriented in the same direction. Reef building corals live in symbiotic association with zooxanthellae , single celled algae, which live in the tissue of the corals. The
