Coral Reefs - Disney Animals
Discover the colorful undersea world of coral reefs, which cover less than 1% of the ocean floor but are home to 25% of all ocean species.
Coral Reefs at Walt Disney World Resort
Coral reefs are so rich in life that scientists call them the “rainforests of the sea.” You can explore the wondrous biodiversity of a living coral reef and one of the largest artificial ocean environments in the world at The Seas with Nemo & Friends at EPCOT.
Coral Reefs in the Wild
Living coral reefs are diverse ecosystems built by large colonies of tiny coral polyps. Coral reefs not only support a vast array of marine organisms, but they also help provide natural protective barriers that guard against coastal erosion.

Disney Conservation: Saving Coral Reefs
The main threats to corals are directly or indirectly caused by greenhouse gas emissions and ocean warming due to rising global average temperatures.
