What are the differences between mangroves and coral reef?
Mangroves are coastal trees or shrubs that grow in saline habitats, providing nurseries for fish and protecting shorelines from erosion. Coral reefs are underwater ecosystems composed of coral polyps that provide habitat for a diverse range of marine organisms. While both mangroves and coral reefs are important coastal ecosystems, they differ in their physical structure, location, and the types of species they support.
Five types of biomes?
The five types of biomes are: 1) Desert biome, characterized by low precipitation and high temperatures; 2) Forest biome, with dense tree cover and diverse plant and animal species; 3) Grassland biome, dominated by grasses and scattered trees; 4) Tundra biome, found in cold regions with permafrost and limited vegetation; and 5) Aquatic biome, including freshwater and marine ecosystems like rivers, lakes, oceans, and coral reefs.
Why coral reefs are important to fishing and tourism?
Coral reefs should be conserved for several reason.One is to prevent some marine species from extinction.Furthermore,coral reefs are an important source of nutrition and livelihood for many.Conserving reefs also contributes to the economy of fishermen as the yield for marine reserves are encouraging.Besides that,coral reefs help to maintain the habitats of many marine species by facilitating the growth of mangrove swamps and seagrasses.Reefs also helps to prevent shoreline erosion.Corals are also valuable as potentiol sources for medicines.Finally,coral reefs have the potential to increase the income generated from eco-tourism. 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. This lecture will cover the threats to coral reefs globally and why local coral reef loss is important to Puerto Rico.

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.
