This Reef by Anouska Freedman captures a vibrant coral reef, with intricate coral structures bathed in soft sunlight.

Coral reefs aren’t just a pretty sight. They are essential to marine ecosystems by providing habitat and food for a diverse array of marine life. They also protect coastlines from erosion and support fishing and tourism industries. However, climate change, pollution, and overfishing threaten their survival. This photograph highlights the delicate beauty of coral reefs and underscores the urgent need for conservation efforts to preserve these vital ecosystems.

From Anouska Freedman: RAINBOW REEF. Loving exploring the pristine shallow corals outside @salsalisningaloo. Love checking out the small stuff and seeing how healthy it is on the reef here.
