#Regram #RG Oceana: On average, #coral reefs grow extremely slow but the distinctive organisms boast such spectacular shapes and brilliant colors, that the wait is certainly worthwhile. Coral reefs, and the marine life that depend on them, attract visitors from all over the world to #Belize. This provides huge economic benefits to the thousands of people who live there.
