The manatee and dugong are both 'underwater herbivores'. Both similar in appearance, but the manatee lives in fresh water, the dugong in sea water.
Dugongs are thought to have started the myths of mermaids.
Some herbivores that live in the Peten rainforest in Guatemala include the Central American spider monkey and the white-lipped peccary. These animals play important roles in the ecosystem by spreading seeds and helping to maintain biodiversity.
Here are different types of ecosystem in Philippines: 1. Forest 2. Fresh water 3. Marine Ecosystem 4. Crop lands 5. Biomes Hope this can help. God bless!

I do not know how often it happens but i don know that it effects coral and the fish or other sea animals that inside and among it. The way it Effects the coral is by coral bleaching. When water temp. gets above about 70 to 75 degrees the coral goes into "survival mode". The zooxanthellea that live inside the coral produce toxins, therefore the coral must kick its mian source of food out of its boy starving istelf to death.
I cannot find a direct source, but by the trends in the listed source, I would guess about 6km/h. http://www.nmri.go.jp/eng/khirata/fish/general/speed/speede.htm
they have over 60 species of coral
Coral reefs: 1. Increase aquatic biodiversity 2. Act as a habitat for aquatic organisms 3. Are used in bone replacements
C. The effects of coral reef destruction are: 1. Coral reefs protect the land from storm and tidal surges, so when they are all destroyed frequent costal flooding occurs 2. Coral reefs are probable sources of medicines to cure the diseases that currently run rampant across the earth. Chemicals found in reefs have been used to treat ulcers, heart disease, leukemia and more. 3. Coral reefs absorb carbon dioxide and use it to form their shells if they are no more coral reefs then there would be more carbon dioxide in the ocean and our atmosphere.
Coral polyps create the large hard structures known as coral reefs. The coral grows due to the build up of calcium carbonate that the corals secret.
Sediments can: (1) Block sunlight from penetrating through the water, there fore coral polyps cannot photosynthesize. (2) Clog pores of the coral , suffocating them. (3) Exhaust there mucous membrane cleaning mechanism.
Another 2 or 3 decades
Most tropical countries- Here are some:AustraliaTanzaniaEgyptJordanIsraelYemenSaudi ArabiaThailandPalauBelizeBahamasMexicoKenyaMaldivesIndonesiaPhilippinesThere are lots more.
The Sea temp increased 2 degrees and 90% of the coral reef around the Indian ocean was killed or bleached
The Coral Reefs are so abundant in different creatures for a number of reasons. For some it gives places to hide. Others a place to look for prey because they know small fish go there to hide.
I know 3 factors that can damage the Coral Reefs! 1.Dinamite Fishing 2.Muro Ami Fishing 3.Cyanide Fishing ☺☻☺☻THATS ALL!☺☻☺☻
Fish? Eels, sea snakes, squid, octopi, crab, sea horse, starfish (Nothing is suppose to be capitalized when it's not the beginning of the sentence). ;)
The average depth of a coral reef can vary widely, but most coral reefs are found in shallow tropical waters around 20-30 meters (65-100 feet) deep. However, some reefs can extend to depths of over 100 meters (330 feet).
