In this beautiful National Georgraphic video, the most rich in life and biodiverse portions of the ocean are explored, coral reefs. Not only from a scientific standpoint are these structures marvelous, but from a perspective standpoint of the human eye. These reefs seem to highlight the innocence and beauty of oceans as a whole, stressing the vulnerability that still exists in such vast inhabited waters. The colors of the coral reefs are composed from all kinds of different hues and tints, which are emphasized by the glimmering light from the surface.  It is almost as if the reefs can be compared to giant cathedrals, where the stained glass windows cast beautiful arrays of light upon the masses inside. Also, the reefs act as major habitats to animals, furthering the idea that oceans act as the mighty shelter that houses all creatures of the sea. As mysterious and dangerous as the ocean may seem to most, at the same time it treats its abundance of life to spectacular sights and habitats such as this. The reefs give schools of fish places to congregate and gives the average fish a fair chance at a home. It can be easily inferred that the ocean can easily act as the grand care-giver of this planet.
