Environment The Coral Reef Ecosystem
Coral reefs cover less than 1% of the ocean floor but support 25% of all marine species. Often called 'rainforests of the sea,' reefs are built by tiny animals called polyps over thousands of years. Climate change is causing mass coral bleaching, threatening these vital ecosystems.
