Coral Reefs are home to around 25% of marine life on the planet and yet they only cover less than 1 percent of the ocean globally. Coral reefs are an integral part of coastal communities, providing protection from storms and income through fishing and tourism. It is estimated that 1 billion people have some dependance on coral reefs for food and income. Australia's Great Barrier Reef, the largest single structure built by living organisms, can be seen from space and has the highest coral diversity in the world.

Climate change is one of the biggest threats to our worlds Reefs. Oceans around the world are warming due to climate change. As a defense mechanism to rising ocean temperatures, coral will expel its main food source; algae from its tissue leaving a pale skeleton behind. This is known as ‘coral bleaching’. Some corals can feed themselves, but without the algae the majority of corals starve and die off.

Our oceans store the majority of heat trapped by greenhouse gasses and this has devastating effects on the reefs around the world. In 2016 it is estimated that around 30% of the Great Barrier Reef in Australia died off due to coral bleaching.

As only a very small amount of the world’s population has been diving or visited reef ecosystems, reefs are generally out of sight out of mind. Liquid Habitat aims to create nature inspired aquariums for clients, allowing them to view and admire the beauty of nature in their everyday lives.

Our goal is to inspire people to fall in love with the natural world through our custom designed aquarium installations.
