Dr Karl: Coral reefs cover less than one-tenth of one per cent of the area of the worlds oceans — but they support more than 25 per cent of all creatures that live in the oceans. They are the rainforests of the seas. Unfortunately, coral reefs worldwide are in trouble. The Great Barrier Reef lost half of its coral cover in the 27 years between 1985 and 2012. If the trend continues, it will lose half of what is left by the year 2022.
