Climate Change & Coral Reefs
Leading scientists and managers agree :-
• Global climate change is greatest threat to world’s coral reefs
• Ocean warming, increasing ocean acidification, more intense tropical storms;
• Plus over-fishing, pollution, sedimentation & coastal development
•
• Means coral reefs are seriously threatened

MARINE PARKS MALAYSIA 1. Afford special protection to aquatic fauna and flora, to
preserve and manage the natural breeding grounds and
habitat of aquatic life, with particular regard to rare or
endangered species;
2. Allow natural regeneration where depletion has occurred;
3. Promote scientific study and research;
4. Preserve and enhance undamaged system and productivity
of the environment;
5. Regulate recreational and other activities in order to avoid
irreversible, damage to the environment, and
6. Improve the socio-economic conditions of the community in the MPA

A more effective management and sustainable trade in live-reef fish and reef-based ornamentals by 2015.
No more decline in populations of sharks, sea turtles, marine mammals, corals, sea grasses, mangroves, and other threatened marine species on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species or listed under the Convention on the Illegal Trade of Endangered Species (CITES),.
Followed by a clear trend towards an improved status by 2020.
