Saving the World's Reefs: A Critical and Urgent Mission
Roughly 50 to 60 percent of the world's corals have been lost, signaling an alarming decline in these vital marine ecosystems.

Their disappearance not only jeopardizes marine biodiversity but also threatens land stability and coastal communities. Experts emphasize that immediate action is essential—the time is now—and with concerted effort, we can make a meaningful difference.
