Coral reefs are one of the most diverse habitats on planet earth. They cover only about 1% of the ocean floor but are home to close to 25% of all marine life. They offer natural protection to Coastlines by creating breakwaters against storms. They provide a large revenue base for tourism. The largest benefit has yet to be realized. Coral reefs produce innumerable compounds, many of which have medicinal benefits. We are just beginning to understand the potential of these compounds.
