Purpose of Research and Contribution to Biodiversity
The purpose of my research is to learn how to have a more positive human impact rather than a negative one. By supporting my research, we will be one step closer to preserving the delicate environment around us. The Great Barrier Reef and other coral reefs around the world contribute greatly to the biodiversity of our earth and help keep the balance of the earth by protecting shores and benefitting humans through food and tourism. Coral reef biomes are very vulnerable because of slow adaptation and reproduction rates. The knowledge of what factors effect coral reefs is essential to ecotourism because without the understanding of everything that has an effect on an ecosystem, it is impossible to unite and sustain such a delicate ecosystem while still allowing for the enjoyment of its natural features.
