Description 1526-1527
Coral reefs of Andaman & Nicobar Islands are one of the best reefs in
Indo-Pacific regions. These groups are attributed with fringing type of coral
reefs with a 418 species distributed in a significant manner1. Coral
reefs and their associated faunal as well as floral components have the greater
capability to expedite the highest marine biodiversity in the world. More than
500 million people around the globe are fully dependent on these ecosystems for
food, jobs, recreation, ethological values etc. These also have a tremendous
ecological investment towards the protection of biodiversity as well as storm
related damage and problems. Regrettably, degradation in this coral reef
environment can be seen mainly due to human activities and sudden natural
calamities or threats which used to arise from climatic changes. Changes in
climatic features are now well known or
established greatest threats to coral reefs worldwide towards destruction.
Corals are very sensitive solitary or colonial organisms which inhabit in
between specific range of temperature, salinity, turbidity, etc. Alteration in
any of the factors manually or naturally, will show significant
differentiations in the life cycle of the coral reefs.
