These are the words of Vanessa Barragão, a portuguese artist and one of our #CoralChampions. In her fabulous fabric creations, she addresses the high degree of ocean pollution brought on by the textile industry – and in particular its effects on coral reef ecosystems 🎨 🧶

100 million sharks are killed every year by humans, but only 5 humans, on average, are killed by a shark. It's time we ask ourselves: what is it we're so scared of? 🦈 😞

Meet the Knysna seahorse, our February #OceanAnimalOfTheMonth. These endangered fish are monogamous and, like many other seahorse species, mate for life. Found in estuaries along the southern Cape coast, they're the only species that is completely estuarine-dependent 🐎💕🇿🇦

Last year's record-high global sea surface temperatures hit coral reefs hard. Not too hot but not too cold is their comfort zone and stressful extremes can cause bleaching aka corals expel algae, lose their colour, and become vulnerable to starvation, disease, and even death 🌡️🧡
