Welcome to the Coral Reef Digest
This is a project of the | ENST259 Coral Reef Ecology and Management at UNC - Chapel Hill (ENST259) class. It is meant to be a semi-comprehensive resource for learning about corals, coral reefs, the threats corals face, the role and importance reefs play in the world, and management of reefs and reef-related environments.
Each year's ENST259 class will build upon the material from previous years. Students will select topics of interest from a list of topics provided by previous years' students that require more research, or students can introduce new topics. After a semester of research, current students will synthesize their research and add that content to this wiki.
Main Sections
- Reef Structure, Formation, and Ecology
- Reef and Near-reef Inhabitants
- Threats to Corals and Coral Reefs
- Protecting and Managing Coral Reefs
