sorry, i dont know much about coral reefs, but here are some quotes that may be useful to you:
"In all, shallow coral reefs occupy only about 284,000 sq km (110,000 sq mi), or less than one-tenth of 1 percent (0.1 percent) of the world�s oceans. Yet in this tiny area, coral reefs house a quarter of all marine fish species. Reefs are highly productive resources for human beings."
"A coral reef begins to grow. Coral reefs grow upward at rates of 1 to 20 cm (0.4 to 7.8 in) per year."
"As of 2005 more than 660 coral reefs were being protected, including two of the world�s largest protected areas�the Great Barrier Reef off Australia and the coral reefs of the northwest Hawaiian Islands. The 660 protected reefs represent about 19 percent of the world�s coral reefs. However, the majority of protected areas only receive partial protection. Probably less than 5 percent of the world�s coral reefs are sufficiently protected at the present time. Some scientists estimate that strict protection for about 30 percent of the world�s reefs would be ideal."
