    Extractions: The Coral Reef Ecology ( CRE ) course exposes the student to the reef ecosystem at all organizational levels from physiological ecology through population biology and community structure to ecosystem dynamics and ends with consideration of human impacts. CRE participants regularly come from the UK, Europe, South and Central America, and Pacific Rim countries. The maximum class size is 15. The format and content of the course is geared to upper level undergraduates and beginning graduate students. CRE is an intensive, integrated introduction comprised of lectures, required reading, laboratory exercises and field surveys. The students' work is divided into 21 hours of lectures, 24 hours of lab work, 37 hours of field work and a written exam. An additional 10-15 hours are taken to complete working-group analyses and presentations. The students are graded on participation (50%), exam (35%) and oral presentation (15%). The course requirements are completed during the three week period spent in Bermuda. All participants in the course must be certified SCUBA divers with current certification, including the

The lectures cover a broad range of relevant topics in coral reef ecology that are supplemented by readings from the primary literature, with attention given to active areas of research. The lab and fieldwork is focused on training in practical techniques commonly used in reef research. The techniques are used repetitively at different reef sites so that each student has the opportunity to become familiar with the methods. A significant aspect of the course is a final synthesis of the data sets collected from the different study reefs. Prerequisites

    http://www.environmentaldefense.org/documents/496_ACFC6.htm
    
    Extractions: Kristina Gjerde, Environmental Solutions International Originally published November 1992 Background Coral reef ecosystems deserve special attention within the scope of global efforts to protect our natural heritage. They play an important role in sustaining biological diversity, global biogeochemical cycles, and the economies of many countries. Despite these values, many coral reefs around the world are being rapidly degraded. While the biological and economic importance of coral reefs is fairly well documented, scant attention has been paid to them by policy makers at any level of political organization until recently. The degradation and destruction of coral reefs have such varied sources and widespread environmental and economic impacts, and funding for conservation is so limited, that coral reef protection must be addressed not only at the local, but at the regional and global levels as well. Local threats to coral reefs, such as sewage pollution, overfishing, and deforestation, must be addressed primarily by countries containing coral reefs, supplemented when appropriate by international financial and technical assistance. Regional problems, such as the transport of water and air pollution across national boundaries, must be addressed through regional legal instruments, again with international assistance to implement regional policies. Finally, the threats posed to coral reefs by global warming, ozone depletion, and international trade in coral reef organisms and natural products can only be reduced through international accords.

    Extractions: E-mail: mroughan@ucsd.edu NOTE: Diving certification is not necessary to enroll in this course, but is recommended. For SCUBA-certified (PADI, NAUI, or SSI certified) students who will be diving, there is a $100 Lab Fee with this course which covers dive tank, air and dive weight rental. Students with SCUBA certification are expected to bring their own BC, regulators, and proof of certification. Course Description This course will consider both the physical and biological aspects of coral reef ecology. Lectures and field trips will be used to cover the ecologically relevant aspects of geology and oceanography, review the organisms living on the coral reefs, and to consider the overall interactions of the organisms with each other, as well as with their physical environment. We will also look at the effect of various environmental factors (global warming, runoffs, over fishing, etc.) on the overall health of coral reefs. Additionally, students will be exposed to a number of field and laboratory research techniques used in coral reef ecology, and they will be expected to participate in an independent and original research project. As part of their research training, students will also be expected to review and critique a number of published articles.

    Extractions: Tuesday 20th September 2005 coralcay.org The Science Coral reefs are arguably the most diverse and productive marine communities on the planet, and can also create the biggest and most spectacular structures made by living organisms. They are home to an astonishing range of plants and animals. These extraordinary ecosystems are exploited by local communities due to their high productivity and admired by tourists due to their beauty and uniqueness. Contrary to common belief, coral reefs are neither animals or plants, but a combination of both. The animal (polyp) and the plant (zooxanthellae) benefit from each other, in a process known as symbiosis. Coral reefs are limestone structures formed in the sea by millions of tiny animals called coral polyps. Most coral polyps live together in colonies. They attach themselves to each other with a flat sheet of tissue that connects to the middle of another polyp body. Coral polyps absorb calcium from the sea water to build their limestone "skeletons". When the animals die, they leave these limestone skeletons that become the foundations of barriers and ridges called coral reefs. As new polyps grow, their mass makes the limestone formation larger and larger. Through symbiosis with unicellular algae (zooxanthellae), reef-building corals are the basis of life in reef communities. Diverse coral formations may resemble branching trees, large domes, small irregular layers, or tiny organ pipes, and the range of colours is as varied as the shapes. Colour variation in coral reef communities is as wide and spectacular as shape and size variability.

    Extractions: While living coral reefs constitute only about 0.1% of the sea floor (about 250K square miles, an area about twice the size of Colorado ), they contain an estimated 25% of all marine species. Now that is diversity! Tropical rainforests with 12,000 orchids and a half million insects contain a larger number of species, but almost all of them are flowering plants and insects. Coral reefs, some of which have been around continuously for 50 million years, have representative species from almost every major grouping of living organisms. Coral reefs are also among the most productive naturally-occurring ecosystems found on earth. It has been only since the development of modern SCUBA equipment in the late 1940s that significant numbers of scientists and recreational divers have been able to witness and study this small but significant portion of the marine environment. It is estimated that one billion people depend on coral reefs for their primary protein source, and the expanding world population is beginning to have major negative impacts on these reefs from: over-fishing; increased sedimentation from soil erosion from poorly managed logging operations; eutrophication from fertilizers and pesticides washed off land-based crops; and chemical toxins released into the seas either accidentally or on purpose. These healthy coral reefs are getting sick; they are noticeably threatened and are diminishing in size.
