Reef Project (Spanish)

Despite covering less than 1% of the ocean floor, coral reefs are estimated to be home to approximately 25% of all marine species. Unfortunately, these vibrant underwater cities are dying. Climate change and its effect on rising sea temperatures are devastating the colorful algae that give coral reefs their brilliant hues, leading to coral bleaching. In addition, other threats, such as pollution (in its various insidious forms) and overfishing, are upsetting the delicate balance of reef ecosystems.

That's why scientists from a variety of fields, along with researchers who study the ecological complexity and importance of reefs, are collaborating to address the myriad challenges facing these ecosystems. Your task is to take command of a scientific vessel and embark on a reef conservation journey. Hire the best crew, clean up the ocean, and restore reefs to their former glory.
