Coral reefs are often considered the marine counterpart to rainforests because of their high biodiversity. Scientists estimate that 25 percent of all marine species live in and around coral reefs, making them one of the most diverse habitats in the world.
Despite their importance, warming waters, pollution, ocean acidification, overfishing, and physical destruction are damaging coral reefs around the world. Fortunately, a new study shows that artificially restored coral reefs can regrow remarkably quickly.
