Coral Reef Ecological Model

The Coral Reef Ecological Model is a scientific framework used to understand how different factors—such as water temperature, sunlight, pollution, and fishing—affect coral reefs and their associated life, including fish, invertebrates, and plants. It considers interactions between these elements to predict how reefs might change under various conditions. This model helps scientists identify threats, plan conservation efforts, and promote the resilience of coral ecosystems, which are vital for biodiversity, coastal protection, and local economies. Essentially, it’s a tool to analyze and manage the complex, interconnected systems that sustain coral reefs.
