Out of 5,610 identified coral species, an estimated 232 are threatened with extinction

The vital underwater coral bridge between the Mediterranean and Marmara Sea is expected to be fully restored by 2024, thanks to DP World Yarımca's Yellow Coral Conservation Project that is being carried out with Istanbul University and the Marine Life Conservation Society (DYKD).

Environmental activists and academics have joined forces to revive the corals of the Princes' Islands and create a conservation area off Istanbul's coasts.
