A large expanse of coral reef.

Coral reefs are very special places. They are the oldest richest natural communities on our planet. In them, that most wondrous and mysterious of all natural phenomena, life, has found its fullest expression. Nowhere else can one find so many diverse creatures living so closely together in such abundance. Complementing and enhancing this extraordinary intensity of life is its exquisite beauty of form, color and motion. This is truly nature's richest realm, a fairytale world beyond imagining were it not real.
