But runoff pollution, the repercussions of climate change and overfishing are weakening and killing coral reefs at an alarming rate.
We have to make sure everyone knows about these submerged wonders before it is too late.
The Reef Project provides teachers with educational materials they can use in the classroom to teach students about the value of and threats to coral reefs. We believe we can motivate well-informed students to become coral reef conservationists in their own way.
The Reef Project encourages teachers to engage in conversation with their students about how much water they use, how much trash they throw away, which chemicals are being used on their lawns, and how all of these behaviors are impacting the health of coral reefs.
