COMMITTEE Sponsored by the MSC MBA/Law Committee Study finds marine life, coral reefs disappearing The Associated Press Sea urchin 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.
