Coral Reef

Coral reefs are diverse underwater ecosystems formed by the calcium carbonate skeletons of coral organisms, often referred to as "the rainforests of the sea." They support a wide variety of marine life, providing shelter and food for thousands of species, and are vital to coastal protection and marine biodiversity. However, coral reefs are increasingly threatened by climate change, pollution, and overfishing, leading to coral bleaching and ecosystem degradation.
