Good News Community<p>🌊 After Puerto Rico’s devastating hurricanes in 2017, researchers found that communities near coral reefs experienced less destruction. Now, federal investments in reef restoration are on the rise, recognizing reefs as natural barriers that protect coastal communities from storm surges. Protecting coral reefs not only saves lives but also reduces disaster recovery costs. 🌍 </p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/goodnews" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>goodnews</span></a></span> </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.cosmicnation.co/tags/GoodNews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GoodNews</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.cosmicnation.co/tags/CoralReefs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CoralReefs</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.cosmicnation.co/tags/Sustainability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Sustainability</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.cosmicnation.co/tags/ClimateAction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateAction</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.cosmicnation.co/tags/NatureProtection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NatureProtection</span></a><br><a href="https://grist.org/oceans/the-business-case-for-saving-coral-reefs/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">grist.org/oceans/the-business-</span><span class="invisible">case-for-saving-coral-reefs/</span></a></p>
