Corals are marine invertebrates that belong to the phylum Cnidaria, which also includes jellyfish and sea anemones. They are known for their calcium carbonate skeletons, which form the structure of coral reefs. Corals live in symbiosis with photosynthetic algae called zooxanthellae, which provide them with energy and give them their vibrant colors. Coral reefs are diverse ecosystems that support a wide range of marine life, making them one of the most biologically rich and economically valuable ecosystems on Earth. However, corals are facing increasing threats from climate change, ocean acidification, pollution, and overfishing, leading to widespread coral bleaching and reef degradation. Protecting and preserving coral reefs is essential for maintaining biodiversity in the oceans and supporting the livelihoods of millions of people who depend on them for food, income, and coastal protection.
