Welcome to the Coral Village!
When Skylar and Poppy notice the corals turning pale and going white, they don’t just panic, they start asking questions.
In this story, you’ll learn what coral bleaching really means, why ocean warming happens, and how rising temperatures and stress can make corals lose their color. We’ll also explore real hope: coral restoration, replanting methods, and why clean energy can help reduce CO₂ and protect ocean life. If you want to understand coral bleaching in a simple, kid-friendly way, and discover how we can help, watch until the end!
