The Importance of Coral Reefs
Coral reefs, often referred to as the rainforests of the sea, are critical ecosystems that house a remarkable range of marine biodiversity. Despite covering less than 0.1% of the ocean floor, they provide habitat for approximately a quarter of all marine life. Unfortunately, these vital ecosystems are under severe threat, having lost nearly half of their population over the past three decades due to factors like climate change, overfishing, and pollution. Protecting coral reefs is paramount not only for maintaining marine biodiversity but also for preserving coastal protection and the livelihoods dependent on these ecosystems.
