Coral biodiversity

Coral biodiversity refers to the variety of coral species and their ecosystems found in oceans. Corals are marine animals that build structures known as reefs, which provide habitat for numerous other species, including fish, invertebrates, and plants. Healthy coral reefs are crucial for marine life, as they support biodiversity by acting as nurseries and feeding grounds. However, coral reefs face threats from climate change, pollution, and overfishing, leading to a decline in biodiversity. Protecting coral biodiversity is vital for maintaining healthy oceans and the livelihoods of communities that depend on them.
