damage to coral reefs

Indonesia is one of the world's largest archipelagic country with a coastline of 81,000 km. In terms of biodiversity, Indonesia is known as the country with the largest marine living resources. Coral reefs are an ecosystem that was built mainly by lime-producing marine biota, especially the types of hard coral and calcareous algae. Coral reefs can be used as parameters in the aquatic environment. At this time the survival of this organism and kelasterian in danger because of various factors, including the process of sedimentation, fishing with explosives and cyanide, the flow of drainage, collection and dredging, water pollution, management of marine rekerasi places that are not professional and global warming. But the damage could be prevented and dikandalikan in good faith and with the zoning process and rehabilitation

Indonesia is the world's largest archipelagic state with the longest coastline of Canada is second only 81,000 km. Indonesia's vast territory of 7.1 million km2 of marine area that is dominated by approximately 5.4 million km2. As the nation's largest archipelago and is geographically situated between the Pacific Ocean and Indian Ocean, Indonesia's marine biodiversity is not tehitung amount. Coral reefs of Indonesia are very diverse and very important role in stabilizing the environment and contribute to the physical stability of the shoreline surrounding neighborhood.

Coral reefs (coral reefs) is a tropical marine ecosystem on the basis of which was built mainly by lime-producing marine biota, especially the types of hard coral and calcareous algae. Coral reef ecosystems should be entitled benefits manifold. Namely as a place to live for a variety of other tropical marine biota sehingg coral reefs have extremely high species diversity of biota and very productive, with shapes and colors vary, so it can be used as a source of food and tourist destination. In addition, coral reef ecology in terms of functioning as a protector of the pounding surf beach.
The existence of coral reefs are very sensitive to environmental influences both physically and chemically. The effect was to change community and hinder the development of coral reefs as a whole. Kerusakn coral reefs could in principle be caused by physical factors, biological and klarena aktivita s human.

Resource utilization and development activities have an impact on coastal ecosystems lingkunagan and islands - small islands. That impact can be a threat to the decline of population, diversity of biota, as well as damage and coastal ecosystems.
The threat due to the physical form of development activities such as dredging and confinement, sewage pollution and damage to coral reefs lahan.meningkatnya conversion, today has been worrying many, because with the destruction of coral reefs will banayak affect the status of marine biodiversity that we have so far. One reason adlah arrest with explosives

The use of explosives for catching fish by the fishermen will menganykibatkan overfishing, resulting in the days of fish catch will be reduced next. Use of Potassium Nitrate (a fertilizer) as explosives will result in a huge explosion, killing fish and damaging the surrounding reefs.
