Coral reefs are among the most diverse, and in my opinion, the most fascinating communities on the planet. Those of you who will be working with me on the coral reef fish ecology project might enjoy learning a little more about coral reefs. Hopefully, all of you will find some of the information about coral reefs in this presentation to be helpful when teaching your classes.
