The importance of corals in the ecological equilibrium remains a potent cause to protect this precious marine life. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) estimates more than 200 million people benefit from corals in terms of food, medicine, tourism, defense against storm surges, and coastal breakers against tsunamis, the need for coral protection is a top priority among the oceanic woes humankind is facing.

The silent screams of the ocean manifest the devastation of our corals. From Rising sea levels, temperature spikes, to ocean acidification, scientists are in a frantic search for coral protection. The United States Geological Study (USGS) declares that coral reefs cannot cope up with the rise of sea levels basing their studies on coral reef sites in the Virgin Islands and the Florida Keys. The area's erosion is so dramatic due to the rise of sea levels which is a cause of climate change.
