Study finds

SAN FRAN
CISCO - The
world's coral
reefs may be
teeming with an
estimated 423,000 strange and
exotic species, 90 percent of
them unknown to science, ac
cording to a study presented
Sunday.
Many of the plants, animals
and microbes around and in
side the reefs may vanish be
fore they are even identified,
swept into extinction on a scale
rivaling the disappearance of
species in the destruction of
rain forests, said the study's
author, Marjorie Reaka-Kudla.
"The risk of extinction is ex
tremely high in marine envi
ronments," said Reaka-Kudla
of the University of Maryland
in College Park.
Researchers don't know
precisely how fast the world's
coral reefs are disappearing,
but it is clear that sewage dis
charge and soil erosion are de
stroying coastal reefs in many
areas around the world, Rea
ka-Kudla said.
The consequences could be
even greater than for extinc
tions on land, because of the
enormous biological wealth
and diversity in the oceans,
Reaka-Kudla said.
"The oceans contain many
more major groups of animals
that have undergone separate
evolution for hundreds of mil
lions of years," she said at the
annual meeting of the Ameri
can Association for the Ad
vancement of Science.
The vanishing reef dwellers
are also a mostly unexploited
source of potential medicines.
Most of the unrecognized
species are likely to be algae,
corals, fishes, and, tucked in
side the reefs, worms, clams,
snails, sea urchins and crus
taceans, she said.

HOUSTON - City officials

Mary Ellen Whitworth, Hous

Those trees include persim

The heavy hydrocarbon emit
