Shelves of coral surround the Pacific island of Palau. Corals, small organisms related to anemones, secrete calcium carbonate, which hardens into an exoskeleton and over time forms reefs

A Fijian reef explodes in color as a school of anthias swims past. If a soft coral hosts zooxanthellae (the algae that give coral the nutrients it needs to grow) and the water becomes too warm, the algae leave and the soft coral die. Unlike hard corals, soft corals don’t leave a limestone skeleton behind and cannot regenerate.

意译：一个斐济岛的暗礁爆炸了，一群有颜色的小鱼群游过去。假如是软珊瑚主人，那么虫黄葵会给珊瑚虫有营养的食物，使珊瑚虫生长，当海水变得太暖，海葵就要离去，那样软珊瑚就死亡。不像硬珊瑚，软珊瑚不能离开石灰石骨架也不能再生。，

Twilight over Clarence River, Australia, 1997
Photograph by Medford Taylor
Stained rose by the setting sun, a skein of clouds meets twilight over the Clarence River in New South Wales, Australia. Richard Craig?one of a slew of escaping convicts who crossed the "Big River" in the 19th century?is credited with its discovery in 1831. Surrounded by thousands of acres of gorge-carved wilderness, the river is a popular sporting area today.

Halifax Lupine, Nova Scotia, 1990Photograph by James P. Blair
A shed stands in a field of lupine in Halifax. After the American Revolution, Nova Scotia was deluged by New Englanders still loyal to the crown and England. Settling farms vacated by Acadians, the recent immigrants doubled the provinces population by the 1780s.
