Coral reefs are known and appreciated throughout the world are endangered, were killed by the effects of climate change. The Coral Reefs is one of the richest places in the conservation of biological diversity, but it is also one of the most neglected. They are also a pleasure, not only of the sea creatures that live in them, but the environment and the people who are buying;

* Shore protection against the effects of waves and storms.

* Enter and the richness of life and materials, and medical research

* Help local communities, in a commercial tourism.

The loss of coral reefs is a devastating effect on communities that are on them, including a large number of marine fish stocks and other residents, the use of the reefs. It would be open to leave the coasts for the effects of storm and flood damage living income from tourism. For one of the first to break down Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. The largest bio-structure is a victim of acid oceans.

Researchers around the world are now their right to vote according to their concerns studies have revealed the following points;

* 98% of the world’s coral reefs are too acidic for coral grow since the middle of this century.

* 20% of world production of coral reefs have been destroyed and do not show any direct effect on prospects for a resumption

* Increased levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere can corals imperilling the ability to construct reefs.

* Many reefs are already affected by bleaching, a process in which the coral loses its color and makes a pale white, due to an increase in surface temperatures Wednesday

The oceans cover about 75% of the earth’s surface and can absorb about a third of the 20 billion tons of carbon dioxide produced each year by man. During the oceans to slow the effects of global warming, in addition, the gas from the atmosphere through the resolution of carbon dioxide, triggering carbonates. One of carbonates on coral reefs, aragonite, which is what the reef used to build their skeletons, but is not for the fragile corals and are not able to grow and repair damage by the fish, snails and natural erosion.

In citing the results of previous scientific studies, the authors show that the doubling of the levels of aragonite to the pre-industrial era to the present day. Levels of carbon dioxide concentration was 280 parts per million for the “pre-industrial era, these are levels of carbon dioxide 380ppm. Scientists expect that this number will increase significantly by the end of the century .

It has been suggested that the past 50 years, an increase of the water temperature of the tropical and subtropical zones, pushed existing buildings coral reef at their thermal capacity.

Coral Reefs, as “under threat” for the time being;

Philippines is one of the most threatened Hot Spots around the coral reefs from damage caused by pollution, run-off of the registration of fishing and dynamite

The Gulf of Guinea is approximately 20 square kilometres of reef between the four islands off the coast of West Africa, the threat posed by the development of coastal areas and the harvesting of coral.

Islands of the part of the triangle Reef, one of the most diverse coastal regions. In the event of a threat of destruction by fishing and trade of reef fish –

Southern Mascarene reefs surrounding the island of Mauritius, Reunion Island and Rodriguez, south of the Indian Ocean are under increasing threat from pollution by the industry of sugar cane and agricultural development

From the south-east Africa-Cape Floral, this small island, is also the risk of over fishing and tourism

It is sobering to think that a serious, if not disastrous consequences for the future of coral reefs are planned, although the authors used, lower limit values for projections, global warming, acidification and the ocean in its analysis.
