The Coral Reef Era: From Discovery to Decline:A history of scientific investigation from 1600 to the Anthropocene Epoch

On 4 June 1629, the Batavia, pride of the Dutch East India Company Fleet, was wrecked on her maiden voyage in a seemingly empty expanse of the Indian Ocean. The question “how did this happen?” led to 300 years of investigation by those curious to solve the enigma: what are corals and how are coral r...
