		To inform marine educators of deep-sea corals, MCBI produced a special issue on deep-sea corals in Current: the Journal of Marine Education, July 2005.

	Coral Reefs & Sea Level Rise
		Coral reefs are critical to the survival of tropical marine ecosystems and hence to local people.
		Corals are slow growing organisms, and when destruction occurs, it takes upward of 25 years to repair and rebuild even the smallest coral colonies (Nybakken 1993).
		In addition to corals living at their physiological depth limit, slow growing coral species are also susceptible to the negative consequences brought by sea level rise as they will be unable to grow fast enough to keep pace with rising ocean levels (Hoegh-Guldberg 1999).
