Globally, more than 300 million people depend on the ecosystem services that coral reefs provide, for their livelihoods and food security. The risk of an extinction of the reefs in the world is real and this requires urgent and rapid actions to reduce global warming. In order to fight the effects of climate change on the GBR, different marine authorities are conducting researches and experiments with the aim of finding a solution for the protection and the safeguard of the reefs of the world. Securing biodiversity and ecosystems for future generations is not a chance, but our duty.
