The removal of herbivorous fish (like parrotfish) leads to macroalgae overgrowth, which smothers young corals.

Nutrient runoff from agriculture triggers algal blooms that reduce water clarity and oxygen levels. 4. Mitigation and Restoration Strategies CoralReef.7z

Reefs are the primary protein source for over a billion people. The removal of herbivorous fish (like parrotfish) leads

Reef organisms are being studied for potential treatments for cancer, HIV, and cardiovascular diseases. 3. Primary Threats to Coral Health Mitigation and Restoration Strategies Reefs are the primary

Coral reefs occupy less than 0.1% of the ocean floor but support approximately 25% of all marine species. They are built primarily by scleractinian (stony) corals that form a symbiotic relationship with photosynthetic algae known as zooxanthellae. In recent decades, the frequency of mass bleaching events has increased, threatening the structural integrity of reefs worldwide. This paper explores the "CoralReef" dataset's implications for understanding long-term ecosystem shifts. 2. Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services
