Every eco-system plays a vital role, and the marine ecosystem is vital for the planets survival.

Coral Reefs are the most diverse of all marine ecosystems and are the Earth's largest living structure occupying about 1% of the world's marine environment. These large underwater structures are composed of marine invertebrates called coral. Unfortunately, 25% of coral reefs have been irrevocably damaged. Harsh fishing practices, coral mining, and climate change are some of the reasons behind their destruction.

In a recent study published in "Science," researchers unveiled a groundbreaking discovery in the deep sea. Ancient coral reefs were revealed as the first marine organisms to emit light, a phenomenon known as bioluminescence. This finding has not only illuminated the evolutionary history of life on Earth but has also provided valuable insights into the functioning of marine ecosystems. Led by Dr. Enric Sala, a prominent marine biologist at the National Geographic Society, the research team…
