The Role of Coral Reefs

Coral reefs are often referred to as the 'rainforests of the sea' due to their rich biodiversity. They provide habitat for numerous marine species and protect coastlines from erosion. Coral reefs are vital for both ecological balance and human economies.

Threats to Coral Reefs

Coral reefs face threats from climate change, ocean acidification, and pollution. Conservation efforts are essential to preserve these critical ecosystems for future generations.

“Coral reefs are the most diverse ecosystems on the planet.” - Dr. Sylvia Earle
