Coral Reefs: why they matter 🪸

Coral reefs cover less than 1% of the ocean floor. Yet they support about 25% of all marine life.
Coral reefs help protect coastlines and support millions of people. They provide food, medicine, and economic livelihoods. 
Coral reefs are some of the most biodiverse ecosystems on Earth. Often nicknamed “Rainforests of the Sea”.
But coral reefs are under threat. About 19% have already been lost, and 35% are at risk. Threatened by climate change, pollution, and overfishing.
Protecting coral reefs is more important than ever.
For people and for the planet.
