Coral reefs are some of the oldest and most diverse ecosystems on our planet. They are one of the ocean's main nurseries and feeding grounds for fish and invertebrates, provide natural storm barriers for coastlines, and are a potential source for novel pharmaceuticals. Throughout their range, coral reefs are dying due to human influences. These negative influences induce stress and increase diseases in these populations.

What are the different forms of coral reef?
Coral reefs can take four forms; fringing reef, platform reefs, barrier reefs and atolls. Fringing reefs are narrow and shallow, and generally occur near the shore, they literally are a thin 'fringe' along the coast. Platform reefs are reef outcroppings far from shore that occur in calm water. They often have a shallow lagoon, and are flat on top. Barrier reefs are reefs growing along a coastline that are separated from the coastline by a lagoon. Barrier reefs are very similar to fringings except that they are much larger. Atolls are ring reefs that usually form at the base of a volcano. Over time the volcano dissapears, leaving a rin of reef surrounded by deep ocean.
