Life on the Rocks: Building a Future for Coral Reefs
FINALIST FOR THE L.A. When they're thriving, these fairy gardens hidden beneath the ocean's surface burst with color and life. TIMES BOOK PRIZENAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY THE NEW YORKER AND BOOKLISTThe story of the urgent fight to save coral reefs, and why it matters to us allCoral reefs are a microcosm of our planet: extraordinarily diverse, deeply interconnected, and full of wonders.
Corals themselves are evolutionary marvels that build elaborate limestone formations from their collective skeletons, broker symbiotic relationships with algae, and manufacture their own fluorescent sunblock. They sustain bountiful ecosystems and protect vulnerable coasts. But corals across the planet are in the middle of an unprecedented die-off, beset by warming oceans, pollution, damage by humans, and a devastating pandemic.Juli Berwald fell in love
