Beginning with a history of the research done in this region, Coral Reefs of the Southern Gulf of Mexico covers the geography, geology, oceanography, ecology, and biodiversity of the thirty-eight "emergent" or platform-type coral reefs in the southern Gulf. The editors include chapters on the biota-from algae to fish-followed by a look at environmental impacts, both natural (such as hurricanes and red tides) and human (such as ship groundings and dredging).
