BIODIVERSITY

Biodiversity is a shortened version of the term “Biological diversity”. It includes organisms from the air, land and sea Describes differences between individuals – be that between genes, species and even ecosystems. Reefs can be considered areas that are diverse due to the species richness.

(Rick Stewart Smith, 2019)

HOW DIVERSE IS THE EARTH

The number of different species in different families of organisms changes every day – we are constantly exploring new areas and finding new species. Most species are insects and microbes

  • this table is from 1984 and only

counts 18,800 fish, we now estimate there are 26,000!

BIODIVERSITY IS GOOD

The more diverse an area is, the more resilient an area is to change and they can adapt through evolution Some areas have endemic species which are unique species found no where else in the world

THE SOUTH EAST ASIA PACIFIC

The SE Asia-Pacific region has the highest coral reef diversity Supports 798 coral species That’s 76% of all coral species known! Individual reefs here support up to 280 species per hectare Raja Ampat has the worlds highest diversity with 553 species per hectare

DESTRUCTION OF CORAL

Global temperature increase: just 2-3 degrees above normal can impact corals – prolonged exposure not “hot days” Overfishing Physical damage Fishing Storms Corals can take many years to decades to recover

NUSA PENIDA MPA

In 2008 area identified as a site with high livelihood dependency on marine resources In 2010 the Nusa Penida Marine Protected Area was established to safeguard the waters and sustain the island communities surrounding
