Too Precious to Wear

Welcome

Corals are among the most important animals in the sea. They provide marine life with places to find food, safe havens from predators, and areas for reproduction. While commonly known for their use in jewelry and décor, corals are not mere accessories in the sea. They are vital for a healthy ocean. But our corals are in crisis, suffering from overfishing that stems from high consumer demand, oil and gas exploration, invasive species, pollution and climate change.

Yet there is hope. If local impacts such as consumer demand, pollution, and overfishing are reduced, there will be more corals in the sea, and they will have a better chance at surviving global threats such as climate change.
