Coral Reefs: Why Conservation is So Important
Did you know that coral reefs are actually small animals related to jellyfish? Corals live together in large groups and form huge interconnected colonies known as coral reefs. Coral reefs are often found in shallow, tropical seas where a special algae has enough sunlight to make food. The algae also give the coral its color- a healthy coral is typically yellow to brown. Using energy from the algae, some corals form reefs by building an external skeleton from a mineral called calcium carbonate. These reefs are an essential habitat for a wide variety of animal and plant species.
Coral reefs benefit people in many ways on a global scale. About 400 million people rely on coral reef fish as a source of protein and about 6 million people make a living by catching and selling coral reef fish and invertebrates. Tourism activities, such as SCUBA diving and snorkeling, provide a revenue of 6 billion dollars per year. Most importantly, reefs reduce wave energy by 97%, helping to protect 197 million people in coastal areas from beach erosion, wave energy and flooding.
The largest coral reef in the United States is located in southeast Florida. Florida’s reef creates 70,000 jobs and its residents enjoy each of the previously listed benefits.
Despite their high value, the future of coral reefs is currently in danger. Recent studies have shown that many reefs worldwide have lost 50-90% of live coral over the past 30-40 years. So what does this mean, you might ask. If the coral reef continues to deplete, not only will jobs be in danger the ecosystem of the ocean is in danger. Conservation and restoration of coral reef habitats are key to their future and the future of nations that depend on them. Whether you live near the coast or far away there are strategies to help reduce the negative impacts on these ecosystems and preserve their services for years to come.
Threats and How You Can Help
Climate Change– When oceans become warmer than usual, reef-building corals can lose the important algae that live within their tissues. This process is called bleaching and has become more common over time.
- Reduce your use of fossil fuels-carpooling, walking, biking or using public transportation and using less electricity at home
- Eat locally when possible-buy locally as much as possible to reduce the use of fossil fuels for shipping
- Start your own vegetable garden (UF/IFAS Extension has many publications that can help you get started, or contact your local Agricultural Agent)
Coastal Runoff and Pollution- most of the pollution that enters the ocean originates on land. Development along shorelines and fertilizer runoff damage and smother coral, preventing it from growing new colonies.
- Reduce or adjust your use of fertilizer-use native plants that use less fertilizer, pesticides and water.
- Limit use of plastics and be sure to reuse, recycle and properly dispose-reduce the amount of plastics you use and make sure to properly dispose of them
- Leave nothing behind when diving, snorkeling, or fishing-don’t leave your garbage and clean up whenever you see some
Overfishing-Fish are important to the overall balance of the coral reef ecosystem. Overfishing can effect the entire food chain of a coral reef and can be very destructive.
- Choose your seafood and pets wisely-choose alternatives when dining out, such as not ordering parrotfish or choose an alternative to large coral reef predators like shark. Don’t buy wild-caught ornamental fish, make sure your pets come from a farm.
- Know your marine park and fishing laws-marine protected areas are tools used to preserve marine resources in an area by preventing certain activities that can harm marine life.
- Do not catch or harm herbivores-These species are important grazers of damaging algae on coral reefs.
Physical Damage-Anchors dropping and damaging contact from divers contribute to the degradation of coral reefs.
- Keep your hands and gear off the reef- secure your gear and be aware of your surroundings so that nothing touches or damages the reef.
- Do not collect souvenirs from the reef- corals are animals and not just rocks, look but do not touch.
- Choose sustainable dive operations- Choose a dive operator that is committed to marine sustainability.
- When possible, use mooring bouys instead of anchoring- Mooring bouys are safer and easier than anchoring and safer for the reef.

Thank you for letting me know that my medication for my depression should address my unique needs. I’ve been on medication for years for my depression, but recently nothing has been helping. Thank you for letting me know that with new medication that typically I’ll see a 10-20 percent improvement each week as I a good medication for me. I will have to look more into different medications that could help me better.

I appreciate your comments on how depression can be manageable until it is causing weight loss, fatigue, or other more extreme problems that mean it could be a medical illness. I have always struggled with mild depression but have been experiencing some insomnia lately. I might need to look into some treatment methods to help with that.

Depression can be a very serious mental health issue. I think the first step is really understanding your symptoms and that you’re not alone. Cognitive behavioral therapy can be very useful in helping people become aware and change their negative thought patterns

Depression is a common mental health problem that involves a low mood and a loss of interest in activities. Thanks for sharing the information about depression.

Thank you for the information on the management of depression. I think one of the best ways to work through depression if possible is therapy. Sometimes you just need someone to talk to, someone who isn’t going to tell you that you are right or wrong they are just there to listen and offer advice. I will pass this on to a friend of mine who is going through a bit of a rough patch right now.

I am glad you mention that fatigue and loss of energy can be a sign of depression. My sister always seems to be tired and can never stay up with the rest of the family. I think we should look into having her see a mental health therapist to see if they can help her.

It' like filtering those words you should say. But, choosing the right words not to get offended. Examining the person next to you is important if he/she in the mood or whatever she feels. Ask her/him hows the day be like. Same with a depressed person, you should know the right words when talking.

I liked that you said that one thing to consider when you are planning to go snorkeling is to make sure that you check your local laws regarding protected coral reefs. I have been thinking about going snorkeling with my friends and family but I have not been sure which location that we should go to. I will be sure to research specific locations where coral reef snorkeling is legal in order to make sure that we don't break any laws while having a beautiful underwater scenic experience.

I appreciate that you mentioned that research suggests that most people with depression benefit the most from a combination of counseling and medication. My son has been struggling with depression and I am trying to find the best way to help him so that his mental state can improve and he can start living his life again. I think it would be smart to look into mental health counseling as well as getting him on medication so that he can improve in a healthy and steady way.

Thanks for the IRA info. I started with Roth contributions early in my career and have switched over to traditional contributions for the upfront tax savings. These retirement accounts are powerful for long-term planners. Although, it's also important to consider what to do when we reach retirement... “Retirement is the world’s longest coffee break.”

I have a yellow coconut in Brownsville, Texas. It was planted two years ago when it was about 5 inches tall, and it has never needed to be staked. This fall we had some nights near freezing. After a day of pre-cold front strong south wind, the palm is now a little loose in the ground. The lowest fronds are a deep yellow with brown around the edges, and some of the newer fronds are slightly yellowed at the leaf tips. A new spear is emerging fairly quickly. Should I do anything besides bracing the palm?
December 28, 2018
That is really cool that when you wet the soil surfaces and plant canopies then you might have a lower weed presence. That is something that I would want for my lawn to have. Maybe I should get a sprinkler system for my lawn sometime soon to avoid weeds.

Hi, quite an educative post. Each time I see these frogs I get irritated and tend to flee but I don't flee because I get to see them in my house in the bathroom /toilet, I have kids at home and I usually kill the frogs two or three almost daily and attimes I see it in my room which is rugged and dry so why are they entering my apartment? I saw them twice on my windows trying to gain entry into my parlor and I clean up my toilet /bathroom with hypochlorite solution,I told my husband to check the backyard to see if they are actually breeding there and coming out from there but he too is feeling irritated and said he can't go there, I'm confused as to what to do. I'm Amaka Plateau state, Nigeria.

I have a 4 foot windmill palm that was pushed over by wind in recent storm. I live in upstate SC. I have righted it(in original hole) and supported it with rope. I have not added any soil around it, should I?? Is this sufficient or should I replant it? Thanks in advance for any advice.

It sure got me when you said that rats are dangerous because they carry at least ten diseases, like the bubonic plague, ratbite fever, rabies, and Leptospirosis. Of these, my sisters are scared of the bubo the most since they read it in a history book, and they know the illness comes from rat fleas. That is why I will hire a rodent control expert to check the house soon. If they ever see the rats, it will be chaos.

I really like your tip to try and cut the amount of butter that you put into your food in half, that way you can reduce some of the fat that is used. My brother has been trying to lose some weight, but he still loves the ease and simplicity of a convenience store. I will be sure to suggest to him that he can reduce the amount of butter that goes into his meals.

Interesting perspective, Brandon Reich. Thank you for making me think more about eliminating Cuban tree frogs from our property.
July 27, 2018
I think the concern is that the Cuban tree frog population is taking over and killing off all the native Florida frogs. Having lived in Florida my entire life, I never see any native frogs anymore and I used to see them all the time. Now I only see the invasive ones. This is just my experience and understanding, as I'm sure the experts in the field could better comment.
July 15, 2018
Thanks for sharing this very helpful and informative article. I think that we should really be ready before and after the storm. I think having a checklist of the things needed is a good idea. I also believe that it is important that we always make sure that we have enough stock of food and water before the storm comes.

My dad is worried about the coming summer because his plants may not have enough water supply. It was discussed here that micro-irrigation is beneficial because it's efficient and nutrients are better timed for the needs of the plant. Furthermore, it's advisable to talk to agricultural suppliers about the center pivot for a quality irrigation system.

Can you please refer some good sources to learn about micro irrigation and implement it practically. Wordpress is fun. You have a nice & fresh layout :)

An IRA is a type of retirement plan that allows you to defer certain tax obligations until you start drawing money out of the plan upon retirement. The advantages of this are that you can allow money to grow tax-free, and in many cases you can manage your eventual withdrawals from the plan so they come at a time when you are in a lower tax bracket.

Great article. Thank you for including counselling as a suggested treatment. Too often this form of therapy if overlooked in favour of medication. As a Psychotherapist I have helped may patients with mental illness seeking treatment for depression. How Psychotherapy differs from medication is that it treats the cause rather than the symptom. A Psychotherapist uses the thoughts, images and feelings that pass through your mind, as well as your relationship with a person, to discover patterns that give clues about psychological conflicts of which you are not aware, especially issues that are related to experiences early in life such as during childhood. By making you aware of these 'unconscious' conflicts, you can deal with them and resolve issues that cause depressed moods.
June 24, 2018
Thanks for the info. We are about to release a zebra longwing that just hatched!
June 6, 2018
I would like for you to consider the following. I have lived in Florida my whole life. The Cuban tree frog was always part of my environment and I am almost 60. I grew up mostly in Miami. I suspect but cannot confirm that they have been around for at least 100 yrs. at what point does a non native become native? When do we acknowledge the benefits of a species? What is said about the Cuban tree frog negativity can be said about our native frogs. They make noise, can disrupt electrical, pee on you etc. telling people to kill these useful creatures I believe is irresponsible. They eat an incredible amount of mosquitoes and other pests. I feel that with changing climates there will be a lot more migration and we should entertain the idea that this is natural. That a species that thrives in urban environments is a plus. Humans done more damage to native ecosystems than any exotic. Domestic pets like cats have all but decimated the sparrow population in south Florida. When I was a child they were everywhere. I don’t see anyone suggesting we euthanize cats or dogs. I think the old way of looks bf at exotic animals needs to be modernized to take into account human and climate changes. Leave the Cuban tree frog alone.

My Bismarck Palm was damaged during Hurricane Irma last year. The frond coming out of the heart at the time was blown over and turned brown. Many other fronds were damaged. There are still at least 6 fronds left on the tree that are green but no new fronds since the hurricane in Sept. 2017. If the damaged center frond remains on the tree hanging over and dead will new fronds grow from the center? How will I know when the Bismarck is dead? If all of the remaining fronds turn brown, should I assume the palm.is dead or should I give it more time? Would hate to see it go!! Thank you for the information.

My 15' Bismarck palm was badly wind-lashed during Hurricane Irma, and several lower leaves were torn loose. The palm bud appears to be fine and the upper leaves are fine as well. It is the lower half of the palm that concerns me. Although the leaves remain green, they look very droopy. Is there anything I can do to relieve what I assume is stress? Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide. I appreciate your efforts with this blog.

I didn't realize that rats would only be active in the daytime if there are a lot of them or if there isn't enough food for them. I have been noticing some in the house that I am refurbishing, but I didn't think it was a very big deal yet. Now I know I better look into rat removal services sooner rather than later.

A very informative blog you have shared it would help everyone who has a garden and here are some advantages of Drip Irrigation System: 1. Maximum use of available water. 2. No water being available to weeds. 3. Less weed growth and restricts population of potential hosts. 4. Low labour and relatively low operation cost. 5. No soil erosion. 6. Improves seed germination. 7. Decreased to tillage operations.

Note that the minimum requirement for treating reclaimed water is secondary treatment in Florida, although many treatment plants use tertiary treatment. Treated, or "reclaimed," water then flows out of the wastewater treatment plant and is piped back to the community for its intended use.

Only qualified line-clearance arborists should work near electrical utilities damaged during the storm. Trees can uproot underground utilities and tear down power lines during hurricanes. The combination of electrical wires and floodwater creates an extremely hazardous environment. Line-clearance arborists alone are qualified to work on these grounds.

The best way to prevent roaches from entering your home is to exclude them by sealing all cracks in your foundation, repairing all water leaks, keeping your house clean of crumbs, spills and clutter, and your trash and recycling receptacles sanitized. However, regular pest control from professionals like those at Hulett should also be considered to keep roaches away from your home and family.

Anyone who has ever made a meal probably knows the importance of herbs and spices. They add texture, flavor, aroma, color and are basically the soul of a dish. Herbs are not necessarily overpowering and strong and spices does not mean the food is hot or spicy. Both herbs and spices can be paired together to create a symphony of flavors. You need not be limited to conventional pairing, think beyond the salt shaker and cook with herbs and spices. It is easier to cook if you understand your ingredients and the subtle and sometime not so subtle difference between them.

Most common means of extermination professional pest controllers go with is spraying disinfectants and ultrasound systems, however, those are hardly effective for complete proofing of your property for any future potential rodent threats. I'd resort to more traditional measures of prevention, such as cleaning up all the clutter and debris you have both in your house and garden/yard. Any object that is lying around can potentially turn into a haven for rats or mice, such as newspapers, bottles, boards, anything. And when it comes to the garden, my personal best tip I've learned through lots of trying is to avoid mulching. I know it's a very good method to keep plants warm but I found rodents really like to use it for nesting.

Hi there, Great tips by the way and thank you. I did have a question though. I'm hoping you can answer it for me since you seem to be pretty knowledgeable about gardening. Is it safe to pour blended food waste (vegetable leftovers, bones) directly on growing vegetables? If you had some insight I would greatly appreciate it.

I'd agree that the biggest issue with teens is setting realistic weight loss goals. I know teens who will not eat anything for a whole day.

I didn't realize that there were irrigation systems that actually are placed below the soil surface in order to water the plants. This seems like it would be great because there wouldn't be any lost water to the air, it would be injected directly near the roots of your plants. My husband has been looking for something to put in our flower garden to help them get watered better so I'll have to see if he has considered this kind of system. I think that it would work great!

Millennials have many challenges that they need to overcome, and student loan debt is one of them. The total amount of student loan debt has doubled in just seven years, digging a deeper hole for millennials compared to previous generations. Another challenge millennials face is the competitive job market and wages increasing at a slower rate. Because of this, it’s especially important that young adults be smarter with their money ando learn to live within their means.

According to the expert: To some people, petioles are stems. In this case, the leaves can simply be cut off near their origin. If a true stem or trunk is broken, it should be cut as low as possible to the ground. If the fishtail palm is a single-stemmed species (not common in FL), then make sure that they also have the stump ground out after cutting the stem off. This is to prevent ganoderma from moving in on the stump and from there it could move into living palms. That holds for the removal of any palm for any reason. Unfortunately, we can't grind out the individual stubs of clustering palm species that may have been cut out and thus, ganoderma often invades the clump via these stubs and eventually kills off the living stems.

Hello, after reading this remarkable post i am as well happy to share my knowledge here with friends.

Hi, thank you so much for viewing my page! I have contacted our expert and am awaiting his reply.
September 26, 2017
What about fishtail palms. How low should I cut the broken stems?
September 26, 2017
Your palm can be straightened and guyed securely to prevent movement. This will allow new roots from the base of the trunk to eventually (about a year or so) support the palm .
