    Coral reefs are invaluable ecosystems that provide coastal protection from storms, absorb carbon dioxide to regulate climate, and support the livelihoods of 500 million people through food and tourism. However, if no action is taken, all coral reefs will be dead by 2050 due to climate change and other threats. The organization Coral Gardeners works to plant and restore coral reefs to help combat these impacts and protect coral reefs for future generations.

    CORAL GARDENERS

    CHANGE THE WORLD


    ONE CORAL AT A TIME

    WHY DO WE NEED CORAL REEFS?

    FIGHTING CLIMATE CHANGE


    Coral reefs absorb C02 from the atmosphere
    and make it into the oxygen we breath. They
    regulate the air and water tempature.

    COASTAL PROTECTION
    Coral reefs protect our coastlines from big
    waves,erosion, and storms. 97% of the
    energy from big waves is absorbed by coral
    reefs.

    VALUEABLE SERVICES
    They provide services valued at 10 trillion
    per year such as food resources, tourism,
    coastal protection, and climate mitigation.

    SUPPORTING LIVELIHOODS
    500 million people depend on the coral
    reefs for food, resources, and income.
    Especially in places such as the French
    Polynesia.

    RICH ECOSYSTEMS
    Even though coral reefs make up a small
    percent of the ocean, they provide habitat
    for 25% of marine species.

    2050
    If something is not done, all coral reefs will be dead by the year 2050
