- Kelagian Island is one of the islands that has a sufficiently complex coral reef ecosystem. Coral reefs ecosystems it self sensitive to environmental changes and stress. Many hum an activities that has been done in the waters can trigger the damage into the existing coral reefs ecosystem The damage’s of coral reef ecosystems can harm and reduce the function of coral reefs in the environment.
