The waves also helpto preventthe accumulation of sediments on coral reefs
coral rudstone / floatstone texturesresultedfrom downfall of corals and sediments
construction activities in coastal areasto preventcoral damage from soil and sediment
Projects such as the creation of " Green Belts " in agricultural areas helpto preventsediment run - off to coral reefs
that sediments negatively affect algal abundance and biomass through reduction in growth and reproductive successpotentially causingenhanced coral settlement in sediment - exposed reefs
