Abstract

Through the resource survey of coral reef in the northern South China Sea, the authors systematically analyzed the similarity of different coral reef communities and corals of different regional and reproductive characteristics. The authors estimated the path of supplementary source of coral larvae around the Leizhou Peninsula. Through the analysis of many hy-drological data of the northern South China Sea, numerical model, and the Lagrangian trajectory equations, the authors found the transport path of coral larvae from Xisha Archipelago to the Leizhou Peninsula in March to June, which confirmed our hypothesis. The authors answered the questions of where the coral is from and why the coral reef ecosystem of the Leizhou Peninsula is declining. At the same time, they proposed a new coral reef management concept, under which better protection of coral reef resources would be possible.
