coral reef reserve
Protected ocean habitat
A coral reef reserve is a protected marine area established to conserve coral reef ecosystems and their biodiversity.
These reserves restrict fishing, anchoring, and other activities that damage fragile coral structures: The government designated a new coral reef reserve along the southern coast.
Management typically aims to allow damaged reefs to recover while preserving habitat for the countless species that depend on them.
