The Coral Triangle reef is part of the so-called Ring of Fire, a 40,000 km volcanic belt that surrounds the land perimeter of the Pacific Ocean.
The Coral Triangle is home to the largest number of coral species on the planet.
The ability of the Coral Triangle reef to adapt to climate change has alerted the scientific community, discovering that the main culprits are living beings of all sizes that live attached to the seabed, the so-called Benthonic.
