It's a grim reality that we must confront. The question is, how many reefs have actually died as a result of human activity and environmental degradation? The statistics are alarming, with many coral reefs worldwide facing severe bleaching, disease, and destruction due to pollution, overfishing, and climate change. But the true extent of the damage is often difficult to quantify. As we continue to grapple with this pressing issue, it's crucial that we ask ourselves, 'How many reefs have died, and what can we do to prevent further loss?'
