PP SLIDE # 1 - map showing distribution of coral reefs; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coral_reef; Coral reefs occupy more than 155 million hectares (600,000 square miles) and are home to more than one-half a million species; Atlantic and Caribbean seas are home to approximately 8% of the worldÕs reefs.  Reef-building corals = hermatypic corals.
