As a child growing up, the ocean was deeply embedded in my being.
I would spend days at the beach, building sandcastles with my sister, counting coconut trees on the shore, getting sand in my hair, playing in the water, admiring the fishing boats and just having an incredible time.
>1%
of the ocean is covered with coral reefs, known as “rainforests of the sea"
25%
of all known marine species call these coral reefs HOME
40%
of coral reefs have been either destroyed or severely degraded in recent years
