Overview
Coral reef ecosystems around the world are out of balance and vital habitats are being destroyed. Special emphasis will be put on ocean acidification and the effects it has on corals. Learn how the loss of coral reefs affects other parts of the ocean system and why coral is such a critical resource. Students will also be introduced to the work that the National Aquarium is doing to "re-construct" these important habitats.
This program is available at the Aquarium as a field trip add-on.
