Tropical coastal ecosystems such as coral reefs, mangroves and seagrass beds are highly productive habitats, where flora and fauna are found in delicate balance. Climate change and the inevitable consequences of population growth will have dramatic effects on these ecosystems.
A greater appreciation of these unique ecosystems is urgently needed. The ZMT regularly develops activities to provide information to people of all ages concerning tropical coastal ecosystems, their vulnerability to human impact, and the need for their scientific study.
