摘要: The geo-chemical nature of coral island in relation to the Dahlak archipelago has been revisited. mechanism behind symptom cracks, pot-holes and caves discussed back-drop chemical weathering deposits calcite rock. This study highlights vulnerability reef ecosystems calls for protecting biodiversity hotspot on priority basis.
