Context: Coral supports rich biodiversity and it also acts as a natural barrier for the Caribbean coast from heavy rains and storms. But we’re seeing caribbean coral species die off, which indicates a dramatic shift in the ecological balance under the sea. And when reefs disappear, so many other species do too - because they rely on reefs for shelter, reproduction, and foraging. There are many reasons why they are dying off, including coastal pollution, tourist development, water temperature and heightened severity of hurricanes from climate change, and shifts in species dynamics due to pervasive overfishing. An organization that has been working on this issue is a nonprofit called Caribbean Coral Restoration. They are located on the island of Solarte in the Bocas del Toro region of Panama and they are advancing reef restoration and rebuilding diverse fish habitats through work that extends beyond their immediate shoreline.
