Coral Reefs

  • The whimsical names of corals-bubble, staghorn, starburst and brain-hint at their spectacular appearance, but not necessarily at their true value. As the largest living structures on the planet, coral reefs are also among the greatest store houses of biodiversity on Earth.

  • Coral Reefs are also one of the most threatened marine systems. Scientist estimated that unless we take immediate action, we could lose up to 70% of coral reefs by 2050.
