This image was not used in the Oceanus printed issue, it is featured in the online story Slideshow with this caption:
Coral reefs are sometimes called the "rainforests of the ocean," because they provide habitat that promotes a diversity of life and the health of marine ecosystems. they are also a major source of fish for food, a tourism destination that stimulates local economies, and barriers that protect coastlines from storm damage.
