Learn more about tropical corals

The Coral Triangle is the world’s center of marine life, a living laboratory where natural evolution plays out in the most unexpected and fascinating ways. No other part of the oceans matches this diversity and on land, only the Amazon comes close to the "triangle" in terms of species richness.

It is home to:

75 percent of all coral species known to science;
More than 3,000 species of reef fish and commercially valuable pelagic species including yellowfin tuna, skipjack tuna, bigeye tuna, bumphead parrotfish, and Napoleon wrasse;
Six of the world’s seven species of marine turtles including the green, hawksbill, olive ridley, leatherback, loggerhead, and flatback;
Migrating whale sharks and manta rays which are attracted to the region by abundant plankton;
Marine mammals including 22 species of dolphin, endangered dugong, Bryde’s whale, short-finned pilot whale, three species of sperm whales, humpback whale, Cuvier’s and Blainville’s beaked whales and the world’s least studied cetacean – Longman’s beaked whale.
