Abstract
Coral reefs, often referred to as the "rainforests of the sea," are among the most biodiverse ecosystems on the planet. These vibrant underwater structures are built by coral polyps and serve as a critical habitat for a myriad of marine species. Despite their relatively small spatial coverage, coral reefs host over a quarter of all marine species, from colorful fish to intricate invertebrates, each playing a crucial role in maintaining the balance of the ecosystem. This paper delves into the complex interdependence among species that inhabit coral reefs, highlighting the mutualistic relationships that sustain their delicate environments. Furthermore, it addresses the growing threats to coral reefs from climate change, pollution, and human activities, underscoring the urgent need for conservation efforts to protect these vital ecosystems.
