Why Coral Reefs Are Underwater Cities Worth Saving

Coral reefs cover little of the ocean floor but support enormous biodiversity, protect coasts, and feed millions — living cities in shallow light.

Warming, pollution, and destructive fishing put those cities in crisis; recovery needs cooler water and smarter care.

Save the reef and you save a neighborhood of species. Lose it and the coastline loses its breakwater and pantry.
