Coral reefs, tropical rain forest known as the ocean

Coral reefs, tropical rain forest known as the ocean, it can digestion waves, with preservation of the marine and coastal environment functions. 26, the reporter learned from the Hainannanhai Institute of Tropical Marine Biology and Disease learned that the success of artificial asexual reproduction of coral transplanted corals have been integrated with the surrounding marine environment.

It is understood that the national Pearl ring coral reef sea area of Hainan Province developed the best and most varied, most Pearl necklace widely distributed area. But over the years due to vandalism and other reasons, Hainan Island and the surrounding coral reefs decline trend was evident, a number of sea fish, prawns, crabs, shellfish nearly extinct, local coastal section of eroded shoreline retreat, salt water intrusion. In 2004, Atami investigated and found that high temperature led to a significant prevalence of coral disease-induced condition. Some scientists have predicted that foreign countries: Due to global climate warming, 50 years later, the world's coral reefs will be disappeared.

Subsequently, the hot sea by coral artificial propagation and transplantation, as an important means of coral reef restoration, and done a lot Pearl pendant of innovative work. In 2005, the United Nations Development Program, Global Environment Fund, the Chinese government jointly launched the "China's southern coastal biodiversity management" project, Freshwater pearls concentrated in Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, five coastal provinces (regions) of the four model district activities. The project will also "Sanya Coral Transplantation and Monitoring Program," included in the priority sub-project, undertaken by the hot sea, director of Chen as Chief of experts.
