Uncover the hidden treasures of coral reefs fringing some offshore islands, supporting a rich biodiversity of marine creatures.
How do coral reefs contribute to biodiversity?
Because of the diversity of life found in the habitats created by corals, reefs are often called the "rainforests of the sea." About 25% of the ocean's fish depend on healthy coral reefs. Fishes and other organisms shelter, find food, reproduce, and rear their young in the many nooks and crannies formed by corals.
