Effects Of Sewage Pollution On Coral Reef Communities. Clean water is vital for both communities and coral reefs.

A wide range of sewage impacts on coral-reef communities has been reported. In this revlew we synthesize present knowledge of the effects of sewage pollution on coral-reef communities and suggest directions for future research.
The nutrient load contribution from the sewage plant was characterised by a simple point-source model. Directly discharged sewage and inadequately treated wastewater from cesspools and septic tanks allow high levels of nutrients bacteria chemicals and pathogens to enter the marine. Coral reef communities may be negatively impacted by sewage pollution either directly or indirectly. In this revlew we synthesize present knowledge of the effects of sewage pollution on coral-reef communities and suggest directions for future research. Coral bleaching just goes to show that there is stress on the reefs. The Ocean can heal and so can all the beings who live in her.
Each quantitative reef survey consisted of a number of line transects.

At depths greater than 4-6 m the coral cover is lower and the composition of the coral community becomes less homogeneous. Also it was expected that the effects of pollution would be less influential at greater depths.
