"Imagine a vibrant underwater world, bursting with color as coral reefs provide shelter for fish, turtles, and octopuses weaving through their intricate structures. These reefs act as the ocean’s lungs, absorbing carbon and protecting coastlines. But as ocean temperatures rise, coral bleaching turns these once-thriving ecosystems into ghostly, lifeless skeletons. The corals lose their brilliant hues, and marine life struggles to survive. This crochet coral reef installation invites you to explore the beauty and fragility of coral reefs, understand the devastating effects of bleaching, and recognize the urgent need to protect these vital ecosystems before they fade away forever."
