Abstract
The Status of Coral Reefs of the
World: 2004 report documents how human activities continue to
be the primary cause of the global coral reef crisis. The report
details many new initiatives aimed at reversing this degradation
such as by conserving the biodiversity, the economic value and
beauty of coral reefs. The report recognises that the major
stresses to coral reefs are: natural forces that they have coped
with for millions of years; direct human pressures, including
sediment and nutrient pollution from the land, over-exploitation
and damaging fishing practices, engineering modification of
shorelines; and the global threats of climate change causing coral
bleaching, rising sea levels and potentially threatening the
ability of corals to form skeletons in more acid waters. If reefs
are to survive as our natural heritage, we need to act locally to
reduce direct human impacts and, globally, to combat greenhouse
emissions.
