In 2013, a Guatemalan fisherman, desperate to provide for his family, ventures far from shore in search of fish. In a moment of urgency, he accelerates his small boat into treacherous waters. Stranded with no land in sight under the relentless sun, he cuts the engine and gazes into the depths below. To his astonishment, he discovers a massive coral reef, five times the size of Manhattan, alive with vibrant marine life, a hidden gem from the past when Caribbean corals thrived. This remarkable find opens new avenues for understanding coral ecosystems and the global effort to protect them.
