The origin of coral

For generations, red coral has been fished artisanally in the area from Corsica to Tunisia, which is considered the most prestigious for this type of coral in the Mediterranean. In the Pacific zone, very pale pink coral is produced.
Unfortunately, coral is under threat worldwide due to pollution, warming waters and the destruction of reefs due to intensive harvesting which prevents coral renewal.
