Too Precious to Wear

Overview

The ocean is critical to our daily lives, and corals are among the most important animals in the sea. While they are most commonly known for their use in jewelry and home décor, in the wild corals are vital to maintaining a healthy ocean.

Climate change, overfishing, destructive extraction methods, oil and gas exploration, invasive species, and pollution all threaten the health of our ocean planet and the most abundant organism in it — irreplaceable corals.
