“(…) corals are on the front line in the face of global warming and its corollaries, including the acidification of the oceans. They are on the front line to the point of being directly threatened. Today, the question is no longer whether these extraordinary ecosystems will be damaged but to what extent they will be. It is also to anticipate what will be irreparably lost of their diversity and to assess the consequences for tropical countries as for all of humanity. It is above all to understand what we can do to limit the damage.” HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco
