The Vanishing Rainbow
The majority of the underwater images on this web site were photographed on coral reefs. Coral reefs occupy only .02% of the ocean floor but provide shelter to roughly 27% of all marine life. Coral reefs provide the foundation for the ocean food chain and have been called the womb of the ocean. The tragic fact is that 30% of all coral reefs have been destroyed or severly damaged and at the current rate of destruction 70% will be gone in the next 40 years, if the trend isn’t reversed. If you would like to learn more about what can be done and support the effort to save coral reefs, I recommend that you visit the web site of the Coral Reef Alliance: coralreefalliance.org.
