Welcome to the World of Coral Reefs
Coral reefs are one of the most diverse ecosystems on the planet. They are often called the "rainforests of the sea" due to their incredible biodiversity.
These underwater structures are primarily built by coral polyps, tiny animals that create calcium carbonate exoskeletons. Over generations, these structures form larger colonies, providing habitat to numerous marine species.
Threats to coral reefs include climate change, pollution, and destructive fishing practices. Conservation efforts are crucial to protect these vital ecosystems.
