Coral
reefs are vital to the culture and economics of Hawaii, and to the
quality of life of the people who reside in the State and
who visit it as tourists. The average person reaping these
benefits has only a vague concept of the importance of the
reefs, and a partial understanding of the complexity of the
threats to these ecosystems. By playing the game, you will
have a better understanding of the ecology of the coral
reefs and effects humans have on the coral reef ecosystem.
Enjoy the game.
