🌊 One of the key goals of MapTheGiants is to raise awareness about the value and delicate fragility of coral reef ecosystems, with a special focus on ancient, centennial coral colonies. It was truly a pleasure to connect with so many passionate individuals at Meet Me Tonight 2024 to discuss our mission: discovering, studying, and protecting these giant corals. Global marine conservation efforts depend on collective action. Initiatives like these are essential to inspiring public interest and encouraging participation. This project, relying on citizen science, needs everyone’s help to locate and protect these incredible creatures. 🌍 🪸
