We can confirm the sharks are doing okay following the incident.

The Cuckoo Wrasse, however, remains under investigation for being unnecessarily dramatic 🐟

Happy World Reef Day 🪸

Coral reefs are among the most important ecosystems on Earth.

Although they cover less than 1% of the ocean floor, they support around 25% of all marine species, providing food, shelter, and breeding grounds for thousands of animals.

Healthy reefs also help protect coastlines from storms and support the livelihoods of millions of people around the world.

However, coral reefs are under threat from climate change, pollution, and habitat destruction.

Today, on World Reef Day, we celebrate these incredible underwater habitats and highlight the importance of protecting them for future generations.

Every reef matters. Every action counts.
