Widespread concern about the presumed global-scale deterioration of coral reefs mandates the need for documented case histories of the world's coral reefs. To meet this need, the Colloquium organizers assembled a series of case histories. Some 50 case histories from 22 different countries were selected as examples of the health, hazards and history of reefs. These case histories were used as the basis for critical review by coral reef scientists at a three- day Colloquium in June 1993. Based on these case histories, the Colloquium addressed several key questions: What is the geographical extent of coral reef deterioration or under stress? How will the expected global warming influence reefs? How can natural vs. anthropogenic-induced changes be identified? Does sea level history explain some of the variations in the vigor of reef communities? What is the impact of oil spills on coral reefs? How do excess nutrients from land-runoff affect reefs? Immediately following the Colloquium, an open two-day Forum with keynote speakers presented the results of this review to the public. Selected case histories, their review and recommendations from the Colloquium and Forum will be published in the University of Miami Serial Publication.

人们对珊瑚礁的全球规模恶化的广泛关注要求对世界珊瑚礁的案例历史有必要。 为了满足这种需求，座谈会组织者组建了一系列案例历史。 从22个不同国家 /地区选择了约50个案例历史，作为礁石的健康，危害和历史的例子。 这些案例历史被用作珊瑚礁科学家在1993年6月的三天座谈会上作为批判性审查的基础。根据这些案例历史，座谈会解决了几个关键问题：珊瑚礁恶化或压力下的地理范围是多少？ 预期的全球变暖将如何影响礁石？ 如何确定自然与人为引起的变化？ 海平面历史是否可以解释礁社区活力的某些变化？ 漏油对珊瑚礁有什么影响？土地运行中多余的营养成分如何影响礁石？ 在座谈会之后，一个开放的为期两天的论坛，主题演讲者向公众介绍了这篇评论的结果。 选定的案例历史，他们的审查和论坛的建议将在迈阿密大学系列出版物中发表。
