“Now the significance of finding coral like this, you know, goes beyond simply, you know, enjoying the moment and seeing this magnificent organism that’s mega coral, because it doesn’t just captivate the hearts and minds of people like seeing something magical, but it really shines a light (on) the significance of coral reefs worldwide, what their critical role is in the ecosystem.”

Scientists from the National Geographic Pristine Seas group were investigating the wellness of the Solomon Islands’ sea settings when they made the exploration. When undersea cinematographer Manu San Felix initial saw the huge coral reefs, he assumed it was a shipwreck as a result of its plus size.

The group’s coral reefs specialist, Eric Brown, claimed that the exploration is a suggestion of the significance of reef and the enhanced requirement for activity to conserve the globe’s seas.
