A Sea Turtle Gliding Over Coral Formations

A large sea turtle swims steadily through clear ocean water directly above a vibrant reef. Clusters of sea anemones rest along the coral rocks below the marine creature.

Underwater Ecosystems of the Ocean

Sea turtles use their long paddle-shaped flippers to navigate strong ocean currents with remarkable grace. Coral reefs are built by millions of tiny organisms that create hard calcium carbonate structures over hundreds of years. Sea anemones form symbiotic relationships with small ocean creatures that shelter among their soft stinging tentacles.

Why are coral reefs vital to ocean biodiversity?
