Also called "rainforests of the sea", coral reefs are calcium carbonate structures that cover about only .1% of the entire ocean. However, A it is home to almost 25% of all known marine species! They are present in about 100 countries and exist in three unique variations: fringing, barrier, and atoll. Also, did you know corals are indeed animals and not actually plants?
Here we celebrate nature by focusing on coral reefs - a quintessential part of the same ecosystem that's being eradicated at a rapid pace. Wondering why they matter so much? Because they actively assist the ecosystem. Coral Reefs play a major role in protecting against and preventing the damaging effects of tropical storms and tsunamis. Majority of the fishing industry depends on these reefs since various fishes reside in these, hence making their jobs easier and efficient. Reefs are also a source of income and employment for millions of people around the globe, including the fishing industry and tourism. They even balance the marine food chain by supplying essential nutrients and fixing nitrogen.
