Although coral reefs cover only 0.1% of the ocean’s surface, they are home to more than 25% of the world’s marine biodiversity, or 1 to 3 million species.
Coral reefs in danger of extinction
Each year, corals suffer a slaughter of their troops. World Heritage jewel, Australia’s Great Barrier Reef has lost nearly 30% of its coral, threatening one of the greatest diversities of marine life. In addition to rising temperatures, corals suffer pollution from the marine world, the invasion of predators such as Acanthaster or the toxicity of some sunscreens and cosmetics. Each year, more than 6,000 tons of sunscreen are released on coral reefs. It is to provide an alternative to products that are harmful to the environment that some brands are positioning themselves with ranges that respect marine ecosystems. Mlle Agathe is one of them.
