| Abstract |
Coral reefs are one of the most biologically diverse ecosystems in the world. Teeming with life, they are also one of the worlds most productive natural communities. Yet they are under increasing threat. This reference work catalogues the significant coral reefs of the world, their geographical context and ecology, their current condition and status in legislation, and prescriptions for their conservation and sustainable use. Each volume contains detailed maps for each country covered. |
