今天的照片显示,一只濒临灭绝的绿海龟在太平洋西南部的新喀里多尼亚水域游泳。在它下面,可以看到鹿角珊瑚,这是一种也受到威胁的海洋无脊椎动物。这种高达两米以上的珊瑚对海洋生态系统至关重要,因为它是幼鱼的繁殖地,保护海岸免受侵蚀和风暴的侵害。

Today's photo shows an endangered green sea turtle swimming in the waters of New Caledonia in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. Below it, you can see staghorn coral, which is also a threatened marine invertebrate. This type of coral, which can reach over two meters in height, is crucial for marine ecosystems as it serves as a breeding ground for juvenile fish and protects coasts from erosion and storm damage.
