Great Barrier Reef (Australia)-- large tropical reef system, most operators do sheltered easy diving. The reef is a few hours' boat ride from most of Far North Queensland.

pense pas que ça soit possible surtout avec la loi de protection du littoral

Example:\n\nCalifornia Law consists of 29 codes, covering various subject areas, the State Constitution and Statutes. Information presented reflects laws currently in effect. \nhttp://www.leginfo.ca.gov/calaw.html\nhttp://www.findlaw.com/11stategov/indexcode.html

1. Coral reefs:\nThere are many types of algae that live inside and outside corals. \nMainly Caulerpa and Corallina species, and many more are named there:\nhttp://www.com.univ-mrs.fr/IRD/atollpol/ecorecat/ukalgrec.htm\n\nInside coral polyps themselves, there are symbiotic microscopic algae. Their common name is "zooxanthellae", but they are in fact multiple species of Dinoflagellata:\nhttp://www.marinebiology.org/coralbleaching.htm\n\n2. Tropical algae: again, far too many to list.\nLook around the Seaweed Site, and pick ones that grow in tropics. http://www.seaweed.ie/\n\n3. Besides algae, there are seagrasses (flowering plants living in the ocean):\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seagrass

I agree that Wikipedia is an excellent web site to look up facts about coral reefs. You can also search for "facts about coral reefs" or "coral reef" without the quotes at www.yahoo.com. Besides Yahoo, www.google.com is a very good to an excellent site. I also have used www.altavista.com. This is a good search engine although it is older. Sometimes it will find things that the others cannot find. I use many search engines. If one doesn't seems to be finding the info that I want after many trys, then I will go to another one and if that one does not pick up the info I want after many tries then I go to yet another search engine and try again. It takes many tries and changing search words around quite a lot sometimes. You might have to refine your search term. That is, what specifically do you want to learn about coral reefs? Use that as a search term and be sure to include coral reefs in your new search term. Sometimes there are too many words in a search term and you have to go through and pick out the important ones so that the search engine picks up the correct info. For example, suppose you wanted to learn why the sky is blue and the clouds are white and you typed in "why are the clouds white and the sky blue?" without the quotes. Say you would get info on weather and how clouds are formed instead of what you wanted to know so the next search, you'd type in "science sites" without the quotes and this would give you a list of science sites. Then you'd go to one of these sites and type in "why is the sky blue?" without the quotes and you'd receive a list of sites and one or more would have the info that you wanted. Then, to find out why clouds were white you'd type "why are clouds white?" in the search box of the science site and then search for the answers. You'd received a lits of sites and you'd find some sites in this list where you could find the answer that you were seeking about clouds being white. The reason I suggested using a science search engine is that for certain things, it is better to use a specialized search engine instead of a general purpose one (Google, Yahoo, etc.)

Coral reefs --\n\n\nCoral reefs (also known as sea gardens) are structures consisting of coral skeletons built upon coral skeletons. They grow in tropical seas in the photic zone, where there is mild wave action, not so strong it tears the reef apart yet strong enough to stir the water and deliver sufficient food and oxygen. Coral reefs also need nutrient-poor, clear, warm, shallow water to grow. The coral skeletons while alive house coral polyps.\n\n\n\nCoral reefs can take a variety of forms, defined as the following;\n\nApron reef — short reef resembling a fringing reef, but more sloped; extending out and downward from a point or peninsular shore. \nFringing reef — reef that is directly attached to shore or borders it with an intervening shallow channel or lagoon. \nBarrier reef — reef separated from a mainland or island shore by a deep lagoon; see Great Barrier Reef. \nPatch reef — an isolated, often circular reef, usually within a lagoon or embayment. \nRibbon reef — long, narrow, somewhat winding reef, usually associated with an atoll lagoon. \nTable reef — isolated reef, approaching an atoll type, but without a lagoon. \nAtoll reef — a more or less circular or continuous barrier reef surrounding a lagoon without a central island.

I know in NSW the National Parks & Wildlife services are preserving habitats where sugar gliders live.\n\nIn Victoria, Parks & Wildlife is doing the same, there is also Land for Wildlife, which is Land donated to Wildlife Organisations for Wildlife, and this land is also protected under Wildlife Acts.  \n\nEveryone can do their part to help protect habitats for Sugar Gliders and other Wildlife by helping to preserve the older trees and vegetation in which they need to survive. Just because a tree is dead, does not mean u have to knock it down.  If it is safe enough to stay, then leave it as it provides homes for wildlife.  Hollow logs also provide safe homes for Gliders.\n\nA message to the first person that answered this question:  I am a wildlife carer and have been for 10 years, and I have to say, a possum cannot kill a cat,  its CATS that kill possums.

Personally when we visit a coral reef we must be careful not to damage it by stepping on it or chipping off pieces for our own use.\nToxic waste and other sewage dumped into the water damages coral reefs, as well as a rise in water temperature that could be caused by global warming.

In addition to rainforests--coral reefs. Over-fishing, pollution, and warming are negatively impacting the reefs in many parts of the world.
