The Secrets of Coral Reefs by Dwight Holing

The Secrets of Coral Reefs by Dwight Holing

Secrets of Coral Reefs explains in simple language the interlocking community of bizarre and beautiful coral reef animals and plants. Although their stony structures seem impervious to harm, coral reefs are actually fragile communities under siege not by natural forces but by humankind. Featuring dozens of full-color photographs by Francois Gohier, Jeff Foott, Howard Hall, Frank Balthis, and others, Secrets of Coral Reefs explores the incredible diversity of reef-dwellers, the differences between Indo-Pacific and Caribbean reefs, and the complex relationships between reef animals and plants. Stressing the importance of this multifaceted world, the book shows young readers the importance of coral reefs, the reefs' chances for survival, and what they can do to help ensure it.
