Fun Facts About Coral Reefs
Coral reefs are remarkable living structures, sometimes visible from space, and are considered the largest of their kind on Earth. They support around 25% of all marine life despite covering less than 1% of the ocean floor, acting as vital ecosystems often referred to as "rainforests of the sea." These reefs are constructed by tiny coral polyps that build limestone skeletons, leading to massive formations over long periods. Certain coral species boast impressive longevity, living for thousands of years, and some even exhibit fluorescent colors that scientists are actively studying.
