Called "the rainforests of the sea," the world’s coral reefs are home to millions of species. But these underwater ecosystems are in grave danger. This program travels to Chumbe Island Coral Park, Zanzibar; Mafia Island Marine Park, Tanzania; and Ras Mohammed National Park, Egypt, to study the fragile ecology and amazing biodiversity of coral reefs—and the impacts of tourism, pollution, overfishing, sedimentation, and climate change. Commentary is provided by Mark Spalding and Ed Green, coauthors of the World Atlas of Coral Reefs, and experts from the World Wildlife Fund, the Zoological Society of London, and Zanzibar’s Institute of Marine Sciences.
