"Coral reefs are home to over 25% of all marine life and are among the world's most fragile and endangered ecosystems. In the last few decades, mankind has destroyed over 35 million acres of coral reefs...If the present rate of destruction continues, 70% of the world's coral reefs will be killed within our lifetimes." ~ The Coral Reef Alliance
