In this article that I read that reef ecosystems were able to continue through massive environmental changes forced by sharply falling sea levels during previous ice ages, an international scientific team has found. Also I learned that they have studied 8 fossils reefs in Papua New Guinea’s Huon Gulf region. Another thing I learned is that Fossil corals, up to half a million years old, are showing signs that coral reefs might be able to withstand today’s human activity.
Do you think that Coral reefs will be able to withstand today’s human activity?
Do you think that these studies will be important for the future?
