This video introduces the Google Earth Tour of Reefs at Risk, which takes you on a virtual tour of coral reefs around the world with the World Resources Institute's Reefs at Risk project. This introductory segment provides an overview of the global status of coral reefs and the threats that they face, illustrated with vibrant underwater footage of coral reefs and photos of activities that influence reef condition.
The Reefs at Risk project raises awareness of threats to coral reefs and provides information and tools to manage coastal habitats more effectively. For more information about the Reefs at Risk Project, visit http://www.wri.org/reefs
