The Coral Triangle

The Coral Triangle is the Amazon of the sea. It is the most diverse spot in the world’s oceans despite its small size. It has 76% of the world’s coral species, 37% of the world’s reef fish species, and six of the seven species of sea turtles call it home. One in every five tuna is caught inside the Coral Triangle.
