Coral reefs, those beautiful underwater structures that hug the shores of many continents and islands around the world, are remarkable for a number of reasons. First and perhaps foremost those magnificent structures are literally made by the excretions from tiny organisms-the coral from which they take their name. But, and more importantly for us, coral reefs support complex and productive underwater ecosystems. Like a tapestry, the weft and weave of the organisms that inhabit these structures make for one of the world's most diverse collections of plant and animal life, everything from fish, invertebrates, algae, and even birds and some marine mammals. Pull on one essential thread and you threaten to unravel the entire ecosystem. The world's coral reefs are dying. These reefs have been...

The potential impacts of global warming on the surface of the Earth are horrible enough -- inundated coastlines, sunken atolls, elimination of species, the spread of tropical disease to the temperate climates. But in the sea, upon which much of Earth's life depends, they could be even more devastating. Marcia K. McNutt, president and CEO of the Monterey Bay, Calif., Aquarium Research Institute, said the danger to oceans is acidification, caused when carbon dioxide emissions in the atmosphere end up in the ocean and change into carbonic acid.
