Over the past 30 years, the world has lost roughly half of its coral reefs due to environmental and human influences. These reefs are some of the most diverse and valuable ecosystems on the planet, providing homes from countless species of marine life and generating billions of dollars for the fishing and tourism industries every year — but their existence is in jeopardy, and their preservation starts with you.

Join the Beautiful Destinations team as we explore the waters near Pom Pom Island in Malaysia alongside the Tropical Research and Conservation Center (TRACC), an environmental organization actively working with volunteer scientists from around the world to restore its coral reefs.
