Description Coral reefs are possibly the most productive marine ecosystems
in the world and contribute about 1% of the total net primary production
in marine realms. Despite their relatively small contribution to overall ,
marine primary production of the globe their existence is of great importance
from the social and resource point of view. Coral reefs a r e important
to many islands and continental margins because they protect the coastline
againt waves and storm surge. They also provide nursery grounds for
juveniles of coral reef fishes and hence influence commercial fisheries
too. Coral reefs also allow the development of shallow sedimentary basins
and the associated mangrove and seagrass communities.
