    • Founder and Conservationist
      • Nov 2020 - Present

      I started this org to focus on conservation and create awareness about the Coral Reefs. A coral reef is an underwater ecosystem that is made up of colonies of coral polyps held together by calcium carbonate. Though colorless, they can have a brownish color due to the algae (zooxanthellae) that live within their tissues. Other pigments such as reds, blues, greens, etc. come from colored proteins made by the coral animals. Coral reefs deliver ecosystem services to tourism, fisheries and coastline protection. The global economic value of coral reefs has been estimated to be between US$29.8 billion and $375 billion per year. Show less
