Coral reefs are the most diverse marine ecosystems on the planet. They are teeming with life, with up to a quarter of all ocean species relying on reefs for food and shelter. This is a remarkable statistic when you consider that reefs cover only a tiny fraction of the earth's surface (less than one percent) and less than two percent of the ocean bottom. Coral reefs are often referred to as the "rainforests of the sea" because of their diversity.
Unfortunately, people are also the greatest threat to coral reefs. Overfishing and destructive fishing, pollution, warming, changing ocean chemistry, and invasive species are all wreaking havoc. Reefs have been completely destroyed in some places, and in others, reefs are only a pale shadow of what they once were.
We still have time to give the ocean the room it needs to be resilient in the face of growing threats. But we have to work together.
