Summary:
"Juli Berwald fell in love with coral reefs as a marine biology student, entranced by their beauty and complexity. Coral reefs are a microcosm of our planet: extraordinarily diverse, deeply interconnected, and full of wonders. When they're thriving, these fairy gardens hidden beneath the ocean's surface burst with color and life. But corals across the planet are in the middle of an unprecedented die-off, beset by warming oceans, pollution, damage by humans, and a devastating pandemic. Alarmed by their peril, Berwald travels the world to discover how to prevent their loss. She meets scientists and activists operating in emergency mode, doing everything they can think of to prevent coral reefs from disappearing forever. As she also attempts to help her daughter in her struggle with mental illness, Berwald explores what it means to keep fighting a battle whose outcome is uncertain. She contemplates the inevitable grief of climate change and the beauty of small victories."-- Back cover.
