Resources
Watch bright yellow butterflyfish, tangerine-hued anemone fish and other exotic animals as they dart about in this vibrant coral reef community. The 10-foot-long exhibit showcases the textures, colors and motion of living corals. An entire world thrives in its cracks and bends.
CARBONATED OCEANS
A coral reef is a living oasis in otherwise deserted tropical waters—home to fishes, sea anemones and other animals. But changing ocean chemistry is damaging corals and other creatures in this complex community. Animals must adapt to survive, and that'll be easier for some than for others.
> Why Are the Oceans Changing?
CARING COMMUNITIES: FAITH & ACTION
People of all beliefs are making changes for the climate. Why? Because they feel a responsibility to be good stewards of the Earth.
> WHAT ARE PEOPLE DOING?
