In all the blue waters that encircle our planet, there is a place, nestled in the heart of the Asia Pacific, that harbors more than 75 percent of all known coral species. An underwater forest of kaleidoscopic beauty, teeming with fish, marine mammals and vibrant coral reefs. The Coral Triangle. The Nature Conservancy has been working to protect this irreplaceable world wonder for more than 15 years.

The figure stated refers to not only the Coral Triangle, but all coral systems etc around the world.

"Coral reefs provide economic goods and ecosystem services estimated at $375 billion annually"
That can impossibly be right, when The Coral Triangle only provide economic goods and ecosystems services estimated at $2.3 billion annually by WWF.
