Description

With "Piece of Coral", I want to draw attention to the increasing pollution and destruction of marine life. The protection and conservation of coral reefs is of great importance to preserve the unique biodiversity and important ecological services of these fascinating ecosystems. Coral reefs are increasingly under threat. Climate change, ocean acidification, overfishing, pollution and improper tourism practices are just some of the factors threatening their health and survival. ne of the greatest threats to corals is coral bleaching. High water temperatures or other stressors can cause corals to shed their symbiotic algae and lose their vibrant colours. If conditions are not improved, they can die. Coral reefs provide food for millions of people worldwide. They are an important part of the fishing industry and provide protein and nutrients for communities along the coast. Coral reefs grow very slowly. It can take decades or even centuries for a reef to fully develop. Therefore, the protection and conservation of existing reefs is of great importance. Although coral reefs are threatened, they also show amazing recovery abilities. Under suitable conditions, damaged reefs can regenerate and restore their functions.
