Coral reefs grow only in specific areas of the ocean due to their need for warm, shallow waters, typically between 23°C and 29°C (73°F and 84°F). They thrive in sunlight-rich environments, which is why they are primarily found in tropical and subtropical regions. Additionally, coral reefs require clear waters with low nutrient levels to prevent algae overgrowth, and they prefer stable salinity and water conditions. These specific environmental factors limit their distribution primarily to areas such as the Caribbean, the Great Barrier Reef, and parts of the Indo-Pacific.
