Rivers Are Secret Coral Reef MVPs

Turns out, rivers aren’t just dumping grounds for reefs—they’re actually shaping and keeping them healthy! MIT scientists just proved that rivers help carve out deep channels (reef passes) in coral reefs, letting ocean water and nutrients flow in and out. This keeps the coral thriving, not dying. Who knew rivers and reefs were such a dream team? This could totally change how we protect these underwater wonders! #CoralReefs #ScienceNews #MIT #Science
