Discovering the vibrant cities below the waves.

Hard, or stony, corals are the ecosystem architects. They are argely responsible for the complex three dimensional structures of healthy coral reefs, creating a habitat for a huge variety of fish life and invertebrates. They truly are the rainforests of the ocean.

Fiji is known as the soft coral capital of the world to divers, and it's clear to see why when you dive Fiji's reefs. Sea fans, soft coral trees, and leather corals provide habitats for some amazingly tiny fish and invertebrates.

#MangroveDay Today we celebrate mangroves, but why

#MangroveDay Today we celebrate mangroves, but why are they so important?

Mangroves are trees or shrubs that have adapted to life in saltwater, and are found along sheltered coastlines in tropical and sub-tropical areas of the world.

Mangroves

• Support a rich biodiversity of marine life and act as a nursery habitat for fish and invertebrates, in turn providing food security for coastal communities.

• Provide coastal protection against storm surges, tsunamis, rising sea levels and erosion, and are thought to reduce the impact of storms and flooding by as much as 75%

• Are highly effective carbon sinks whose soils are able to sequester carbon at a rate of up to five times that of tropical rainforests

• Have complex root systems that stabilise sediments and act as nutrient sinks, improving water clarity and protecting coral reefs

However, mangroves are disappearing three to five times faster than terrestrial forests, and it is estimated that up to 50% have disappeared in the last 30 years!
