Hawaiian Corals: Reef-builders and sediment producers

Entry ID: UH_SOEST_coral

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: Although Hawaii is not known for its coral diversity (we have only 10
coral genera), one quarter of the species present are indigenous or
endemic to the islands. The most common scleractinian (stony) corals
found on Hawaiian reefs are shown online.

Other data available from the website includes:
- The Carbonate sediment budget of Kailua Bay, Oahu, Hawaii
- Hawaiian Algae
- Sea Life in Hawaii
- Sand Composition in Hawaii
