Listen in as Kait explains different types of reefs, what exactly coral is, and how it grows and survives. We discuss what these ecosystems mean to the ocean, where they can be found, and how large they can get. Special guest Liz Trueblood will be on Part 2, coming 9/11/24!

BIG TAKEAWAY: There are multiple types of reefs, some even man-made. More than one quarter of all marine life lives in a coral reef at some point in their lives! Reefs are integral not only to the lives of sea creatures, but also to the coastal regions around them.
