Page aa Symbiosis, or living together, is a phenomenon in biology with myriad examples found among coral reef communities. The composite photograph on the front cover shows coral reef inhabitants that may otherwise seem to be potential enemies forming unusual alliances in search of common resources such as food, shelter, or protection from predation and disease. Over ecological time symbiotic relationships within coral reefs have evolved complex partnerships, with perhaps the most highly evolved being among the corals themselvescoral tissue occupied by single cellular algal dinoflagellates, or zooxanthellaesharing physical space and solar and chemical energy. Image 1 is an enlarged view of the polyps of the massive coral, Montastrea cavernosa, the most dominant reef-building species in the western Atlantic. Image 2 shows a zone of the brain coral, Diploria strigosa, near San Blas, Panam. The clownfish, Amphiprion bicinctus, lives among the tentacles of a sea anemone in the Red Sea (image 3). A. bicinctus enjoys protection from predators, while enticing other small fish into the anemone's grasp. The large moray eel, Gymnothorax flavimarginatus (image 4), appearing to devour the shrimp, Lysmata ambionensis, is actually allowing it amazing liberty in cleaning small parasites from within its mouth and gills. As a species, perhaps humans can learn from these examples by also forming unique relationships in search for a common good. These proceedings, from a World Bank conference held on October 911, 1997, emphasize themes dealing with critical management issues for sustaining and conserving of coral reefs around the world. If coral reefs are to benefit our children, as they have sustained and enriched our generation's time on Earth, then it is incumbent upon us to form unusual alliancessymbiotic relationshipsthat result in mutually beneficial outcomes and work toward the common goals of conservation and sustainability. Unfortunately for us, our global population growth and resulting demands on natural resources far exceed the pace of the ecological adaptation to which coral reefs have been accustomed. Among our diverse interests we must seek out and develop those partnerships that can help coral reefs and people to continue to provide for future generations.
