Reef Tract

The Reef Tract refers to a strip of coral reefs, often stretching along coastlines. These reefs are vital marine ecosystems, providing habitat for diverse fish and marine life, while also protecting shorelines from erosion and storm damage. They contribute to local economies through tourism and fishing. Coral reefs are sensitive to environmental changes, such as rising sea temperatures and pollution, which can lead to coral bleaching and decline. Conservation efforts aim to protect these valuable ecosystems, highlighting their importance for biodiversity and coastal resilience.
