The capacity of coral reefs around the world to provide essential benefits and services to humans has diminished by half since the 1950s, according to a new study.

published Friday in the journal One Earth offered a comprehensive look at the impact diminishing coral reef coverage has had on ecosystem services, that is, the ability of reefs to provide food and livelihoods to humans.

In addition to providing a habitat for fish, coral reefs also act as a natural barrier protecting shorelines from waves and storms. The team of researchers also calculated a 63 per cent decline in biodiversity with the loss of coral.
