متن کاملNatural Colonisation of a Marina Seawall by Scleractinian Corals along Singapore's East Coast
— Highly modified habitats resulting from coastal development could facilitate the re-establishment of biological communities. At the Singapore Armed Forces Yacht Club in Changi, Singapore, the diversity and distribution of scleractinian corals were investigated using belt surveys at two different depths (1–3.5 m and 3.5–6 m) of a seawall. The 1,762 scleractinian colonies recorded are represent...
