Scientist says fish can save coral reefs http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1260294563
A marine ecologist who has studied some of the most pristine and untouched coral reefs in the world says there is a way to fight back against devastating deaths of coral reefs caused by climate change and warming oceans.
Enric Sala, a former professor at Scripps Institution of Oceanography and now a National Geographic Fellow, said damaged coral will grow back if it is in a healthy environment with lots of predator fish.
A healthy fish population will graze on algae that kills coral. Filter feeders, such as giant clams, remove harmful microbes from the water.
