Why coral reefs matter 🪸

Coral reefs are among the most biodiverse ecosystems on Earth. Though they cover less than 1% of the ocean floor, they support an incredible variety of marine life.

Healthy reefs:
 • Provide habitat for thousands of species
 • Protect coastlines from storms and erosion
 • Support fisheries and local livelihoods
 • Contribute to tourism and coastal economies

Protecting coral reefs means protecting the ecosystems and communities that depend on them.
