Coral reefs in south China's Sansha City are thriving after conservation efforts. Latest surveys show that reef coverage has significantly increased, with colorful soft corals now dominating the underwater landscape. The recovery follows a 2022 crown-of-thorns starfish outbreak, during which local teams removed over 50,000 invasive starfish. Marine biologists confirm a 15-percent growth in coral coverage, highlighting the success of targeted restoration. This achievement sets a benchmark for reef protection.
