A recent study highlights how conserving coral reefs can help reduce the risk of coastal flooding in the Hawaiian Islands. The research looked at what would happen if the top meter of coral reefs disappeared, revealing that this loss could lead to $629 million in avoided damages to buildings each year. The study also points out key areas that should be prioritized for conservation. These findings support the idea that protecting nature can be an effective way to lower disaster risks, providing communities with useful methods to utilize readily available data and tools.
