Description
In 1980, scientists discovered that hundreds of corals on the Great Barrier Reef participate in a mass spawning event. Now, science author Sneed B. Collard III explains coral reefs, the coral larvae's perilous journey through the sea to their home on the reef, and the animals that depend on this ecosystem for their survival. Intricate cut-paper illustrations capture the eye-catching colors of this underwater world.
