islands. The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park is responsible for protecting much
of the reef, which scientists fear may soon begin to suffer immensely from
fishing, tourism, and global warming. Though introduction of a fishing ban
around Apo Reef at philipipines and
Great Barrier Reef, fish and
other marine species can breathe easier. This ban completely forbidden all the
extractive activities, such as fishing, and coral collection and harvesting.

A deep-sea
vent, also known as a hydrothermal vent, is a place in the surface in the earth
where unusually heated water can be found. Most are found in areas where there
are active volcanoes or ocean basins. Above ground you can find hydrothermal
vents in places such as Yellowstone National Park. When these vents are found
in the sea they are also known as black smokers. The fluids in these vents have
special chemical make-ups that support the life of several unique organisms
including, but not limited to, clams, shrimp, and giant tube worms. Deep-Sea
vents have been found around the Kermadec Arc in New Zealand, and along the
Galapagos Rift in the East Pacific.Between

British students to conduct coral reef replanting around Sikuai Island, Padang, West Sumatra, on April 7,
2008. The social activity would be held based on cooperation between tour
operator "Sumatra and Beyond", marine tourist resort organizer of
Sikuai Island and non-governmental organization (NGO) Minang Bahari Foundation.
The coral reef seeds planting activity had become the primary tourism package
in Europe, especially among British students. Danang at vietnam is blessed with stunning coral reef but
the city has failed to capitalise on its tourism potential and has yet to find
a way to effectively protect it.
