What about benefits to other species?\n== Flood Protection ==\nOne important service that coral reefs provide tropical, coastal areas is to act as a barrier to wave energy. Reefs act as a break point for waves which can reduce coastal erosion and saltwater intrusion. A recent study suggests that healthy reefs are more effective than dead reefs in reducing wave energy.  Healthy reefs, with complex structure from [[Scleractinians|branching corals]], offer a rougher surface than a dead reef, which is often flatter and smoother. <ref name=\"GRL\">Quataert, E., C.
