Navigating A World Without Coral Reefs
Coral reefs are vital ecosystems that support a diverse range of marine life. The loss of these reefs due to human activity could have catastrophic effects on both marine organisms and humans. Over half a billion people depend on fish from reefs for their protein, and many businesses in places like the Florida Keys rely on coral reefs for tourism and fishing. If reefs disappear, it would lead to economic decline and a loss of natural shoreline protection. Urgent action is needed to protect these essential habitats and their interconnected systems.
