Coral Reefs

Provides an introduction to the biology and coral reef ecology and an identification to many of the corals of the Australasia and Indo-Pacific regions. This book is not a scientific treatise, nor is it another Great Barrier Reef publication. It is a visual experience of one of the great wonders of our planet.

Provides an introduction to coral reef biology and ecology in a full colour identification guide to the better-known coral genera. It takes the reader into the tranquil underwater world of living coral colonies, brilliantly coloured fishes, sponges, algae, cowries and giant clams. This book recognises the fragility of the whole coral community in its exposure to danger, not only from adverse sea and weather conditions, but also from other inhabitants of the marine environment.
