Hidden Coral Cities

“Hidden Coral Cities” offers a fascinating exploration of coral reef ecosystems, revealing how these underwater metropolises support a quarter of all ocean species while occupying just a tiny fraction of the ocean floor.

The book presents a groundbreaking perspective by comparing coral reefs to urban systems, complete with neighborhoods, transportation networks, and resource distribution systems, providing readers with an innovative framework for understanding these complex marine environments. Through a combination of traditional marine biology and cutting-edge technology, including 3D mapping and genetic analysis, the book guides readers through three main sections: the physical architecture of reef systems, the intricate biological interactions within reef communities, and pressing conservation challenges.

Drawing from fifty years of marine research, including data from prestigious organizations like the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority, the text illuminates how coral polyps construct elaborate calcium carbonate frameworks that become the foundation for entire ecosystems. What sets this book apart is its interdisciplinary approach, connecting marine biology with urban planning, chemistry, and climate science to demonstrate the far-reaching implications of reef ecosystem health.

Written in an accessible yet technically accurate style, it serves both academic and general audiences, offering practical insights for reef conservation while addressing current debates about restoration techniques and climate change adaptation strategies. The inclusion of detailed diagrams, maps, and photographs helps readers visualize and understand these complex marine systems that are so crucial to global ocean health.
