Climate change and the Great Barrier Reef: a vulnerability assessment [PDF]

, 2007
Reef-building corals (Order Scleractinia Class Anthozoa) form extensive skeletons of calcium carbonate (limestone), depositing enough material over time to form vast reef structures that may be easily seen from space.
