Alt Text Map of coral distribution across the globe. The continents are shown in green with Africa to the left next to Europe, Asia, and Australia, and then North and South America and Greenland to the right. A blue band runs across the bottom third of the continents. Extended Description Pink dots appear within the blue band along the eastern coastline of Africa and near the Middle East and India. Distribution is especially dense around the southeast Asian islands, along the northern coastlines of Australia, and reaching across the Pacific Ocean in this zone. Another cluster is between North and South America, including around the Virgin Islands.
