Up to 200 colour illustrations.  Coral reefs are among the most extraordinary structures in the whole of nature., built sometimes over hundreds or thousands of years, by simple little animals that are relations of sea anemones.  This book gives an insight into the workings of this amazing world, an ecosystem of almost unparalleled richness that manages to thrive in the nutrient-poor waters of the tropics.  We are introduced to a wealth of fascinating creatures. This book also investigates the problems facing coral reefs and assesses their seriousness.
