Download or read book Kupe and the Corals written by Jacqueline L. Padilla-Gamiño and published by Taylor Trade Publishing. This book was released on 2014-08-13 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kupe and the Corals is the story of Kupe, a young boy who undertakes an amazing voyage of discovery to learn about corals and the importance of coral reefs to all of the many animals that depend upon them. One night while he is fishing with his father, Kupe observes an astonishing event, thousands and thousands of tiny “bubbles” rising to the surface of the waters in the lagoon near where he lives. Kupe is amazed by this sight and wants to learn more about the “strange pink bubbles” that he has captured in an old jam jar. Kupe visits with an elder from his village and a scientist from the nearby marine lab in an attempt to learn more about what he has seen. During his conversations, Kupe learns that what he has captured are tiny coral larvae, baby corals that are produced in the millions over just a few nights each year by the adult corals living in the lagoon. Kupe then goes on to learn more about how corals grow and the importance of corals in building the reefs that provide homes for all of the other wonderful animals that he sees while snorkeling in the lagoon. Now, realizing how important the larvae he has captured are to the health of the coral reef, Kupe happily returns his larvae to the sea. Kupe and the Corals, is the sixth book in the Long Term Ecological Research Network Series.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Polynesian lagoons are part of economic, environmental and social networks that are highly complex, particularly given the interactions between different actors who do not necessarily share the same interests. The traditional practice of rāhui is a system of periodic non-exploitation used in Polynesian society which is today undergoing a certain revival. It has some similarities to what Nobel prize winning economist Elinor Ostrom has called the Common Pool. One of the aims of this book is to examine the relationship between this tradition and new forms of management of the lagoon through the concept of the commons. The book is made up of six chapters. The first two are focused on the rāhui in ancient Tahiti, and its return in modern times. The next three focus on case studies and the learnings that can be drawn from them from the point of view of commons management. The final chapter looks at the technical operationality of the notion of the Common Pool in French Polynesia and raises the question of environmental financing. Tamatoa Bambridge is Director of Research at the Centre National de Recherche Scientifique (CNRS). As an anthropologist with the Centre de Recherches Insulaires et Observatoire de l’Environnement (CRIOBE) on Mo’orea, his work focuses on legal pluralism in the area of land and property rights, traditional knowledge relating to biodiversity, and contemporary governance practices for marine spaces in Oceania. François Gaulme has a Doctorat d’Etat ès Lettres, and is an ethnohistorian. He is a Research Associate with the African Centre of the Institut français des relations internationales (IFRI). A former editor-in-chief of the journals Marchés tropicaux et méditerranéens and Afrique contemporaine, he has also served with the Agence Française du Développement (AFD) and with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Development (Development Section). Christian Montet is Emeritus Professor in Economic Sciences at the University of French Polynesia, and a member of the research groupe GDI (Gouvernance et Développement Insulaire, Governance and Island Development). His preferred research areas are competition economics, appliedmicro-economics and international economics. Thierry Paulais is an economist. His research interests include development economics, infrastructure and local collectivit financing, urban development and housing policy, the economic viability of investments and all aspects of project development and management. He has worked for a number of engineering firms, for the Caisse des dépôts et consignations, and for the Agence française de développement (AFD)

Book excerpt: The health status and future of tropical coral reefs, as tourist destinations, are regularly subjected to media coverage. Many documentaries recognize the natural beauty and biological richness of the Australian Great Barrier Reef and French Polynesian lagoons, but point to the equally significant risk that would result from current global warming and human-made hazards. The future of coral reefs is usually a matter of death foretold, real or purely imaginary. In this context, it has become necessary to differentiate between what is falling within reality of scientific facts or fantasy. To this end, the present general review, in the expert translation of Charlotte Fontan aims at: (1) defining the conditions and life requirements of reefbuilding corals; (2) the history of corals along with that of a number of associated, skeletal organisms involved in reef building since the very beginning, i.e. the last 540 million years, including the ups and downs they have experienced; (3) giving special reference to the development patterns of recent and modern reefs; (4) projecting corals and reefs into a still unknown future. Understanding how corals and reefs have originated, how they have been able to face the major biological crises which have punctuated the Earth’s history, how they have survived is a prerequisite to better gain a significant picture of their future.
Download or read book Mesophotic Coral Ecosystems written by Yossi Loya and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-05-22 with total page 1003 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book summarizes what is known about mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) geographically and by major taxa. MCEs are characterized by light-dependent corals and associated communities typically found at depths ranging from 30-40 m. and extending to over 150 m. in tropical and subtropical ecosystems. They are populated with organisms typically associated with shallow coral reefs, such as macroalgae, corals, sponges, and fishes, as well as specialist species unique to mesophotic depths. During the past decade, there has been an increasing scientific and management interest in MCEs expressed by the exponential increase in the number of publications studying this unique environment. Despite their close proximity to well-studied shallow reefs, and the growing evidence of their importance, our scientific knowledge of MCEs is still in its early stages. The topics covered in the book include: regional variation in MCEs; similarities and differences between mesophotic and shallow reef taxa, biotic and abiotic conditions, biodiversity, ecology, geomorphology, and geology; potential connectivity between MCEs and shallow reefs; MCE disturbances, conservation, and management challenges; and new technologies, key research questions/knowledge gaps, priorities, and future directions in MCE research.

Download or read book Coral Reef Ecology written by Yuri I. Sorokin and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-12 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coral reef communities are among the most complex, mature and productive ecosystems on earth. Their activity resulted in the creation of vast lime constructions. Being extremely productive and having the function of a powerful biofilter, coral reefs play an important role in global biogeochemical processes and in the reproduction of food resources in tropical marine regions. All aspects of coral reef science are covered systematically and on the basis of a holistic ecosystem approach. The geological history of coral reefs, their geomorphology as well as biology including community structure of reef biota, their functional characteristics, physiological aspects, biogeochemical metabolism, energy balance, environmental problems and management of resources are treated in detail.
Download or read book The Biology of Coral Reefs written by Charles R. C. Sheppard and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coral reefs represent the most spectacular and diverse marine ecosystem on the planet as well as a critical source of income for millions of people. However, the combined effects of human activity have led to a rapid decline in the health of reefs worldwide, with many now facing complete destruction. Their world-wide deterioration and over-exploitation has continued and even accelerated in many areas since the publication of the first edition in 2009. At the same time, there has been a near doubling in the number of scientific papers that have been written in this short time about coral reef biology and the ability to acclimate to ocean warming and acidification. This new edition has been thoroughly revised and updated, incorporating the significant increase in knowledge gained over the last decade whilst retaining the book's focus as a concise and affordable overview of the field. The Biology of Coral Reefs provides an integrated overview of the function, physiology, ecology, and behaviour of coral reef organisms. Each chapter is enriched with a selection of 'boxes' on specific aspects written by internationally recognised experts. As with other books in the Biology of Habitats Series, the emphasis in this book is on the organisms that dominate this marine environment although pollution, conservation, climate change, and experimental aspects are also included. Indeed, particular emphasis is placed on conservation and management due to the habitat's critically endangered status. A global range of examples is employed which gives the book international relevance.
