Introduction
Despite covering .2% of the ocean, coral reefs compose 25% of all marine life on the planet [F]. At least a million described species of plants and animals have made coral reefs their home. Even with these biological discoveries an estimated 8 million species have yet to be documented [G].
Unfortunately, coral reefs are noticably declining in population. 27% of the world's coral reefs are already destroyed and if the current rate of destruction continues, a further 60% will disappear in a few decades [H].
