South China’s Sansha City is serving major #OceanGoals as its coral reefs stage a dramatic comeback! 🐠 Marine biologists report a 15% surge in coral coverage after locals removed 50,000 invasive crown-of-thorns starfish during a 2022 outbreak. Talk about teamwork!
Once threatened by the spiky invaders, the reefs now dazzle with vibrant soft corals – a win for both biodiversity and climate resilience. 🌏💙 This success story sets a new gold standard for reef restoration, proving targeted action can reverse ecological damage.
"It’s like watching a rainforest regrow underwater," one researcher told us. With coral reefs sheltering 25% of marine life, this revival isn’t just pretty – it’s planet-saving. 🌍🔬
