Coral Reefs

Significance of Coral Reefs

  • Coastal Protection: Absorb wave energy, which helps to prevent coastal erosion. Additionally, they lessen the energy of tsunamis and, to some extent, the damage caused by storms, hurricanes, and other cyclones.
  • Healthcare: There is a huge potential for new pharmacological discoveries as well as treatments for specific cancers and ageing, as well as a promising path for bone regeneration.
  • Economy: It is estimated that food, fisheries, and tourism provide $30 billion in direct economic benefits to people every year.
  • Ecology: They contribute significantly to the functioning of the marine ecosystem and maintain the habitats of marine life.
