Raising awareness of threats to coral reefs and providing information and tools to manage coastal habitats more effectively.
Coral reefs occupy less than one percent of the Earth’s marine environment, but are home to more than a quarter of all known marine fish species. Reefs also serve as a buffer against incoming storm surges, protecting local populations. Unfortunately, many coastal ecosystems are threatened by human activities including overfishing, agriculture, and urban development.
