Coralligenous ecosystems are unique underwater habitats found only in the Mediterranean Sea. They form in dimly lit waters, usually 30–150 m deep and support more than 1,800 species. They have been decimated by destructive bottom trawling fishing, which can flatten centuries-old coral structures in minutes.
