“…micro-and macroborers) and external bioerosion (i.e. grazers) (Hutchings 1986;Bellwood 1995). Rose and Risk (1985) found an increased abundance of the boring sponge Cliona delitrix on reefs associated with the discharge of untreated sewage.…”

“…These, are attached to the coral bases, bore the skeleton, or live over or under the colonies (McCloskey, 1970;Young, 1986;Arvanitides and Koukouras, 1994). Many authors have emphasised the destructive impact of the endolithic fauna on coral colonies, a process known as bioerosion (Hein and Risk, 1975;MacGeachy and Stearn, 1976;Hutchings, 1986;Kiene and Hutchings,1992); among the studies with a more specific focus, those on sponges (Rützler, 1975), molluscs (Hadfield, 1976;Morton, 1983;Moretzsohn and Tsuchyia, 1992), polychaetes (Kohn and Lloyd, 1973;Arvanitides and Koukouras, 1994;Nogueira, 2000), and sipunculids (Rice, 1976;Rice and Macintyre, 1982) should be noted.…”

“…Bioeroders help maintain a mass balance between accretion and erosion and serve as recyclers in marine ecosystems (Hutchings 1986, Glynn 1997, making the eroded materials available to other organisms. Bioerosion is important for maintaining some ecosystems including coral and sand beaches (Schneider andToruski 1983, Hutchings 1986) or perhaps the ecotone between dense mangrove forest and open marine waters (Snedaker and Enright 1974).…”

“…These habitats may also provide refuges from environmental stressors or predators (Bortolus et al 2002, Palomo et al 2003. The community inhabiting these excavations may also enhance nutrient recycling by drawing organic matter into these systems (Hutchings 1986, Levin et al 1997) and the complex topography of pits, burrows, and excavations may enhance the passive deposition of particles including organic matter (Yager et al 1993).…”
