한국산호, or Korean coral, refers to various species of coral found in the waters surrounding the Korean Peninsula. These corals play a crucial role in marine ecosystems, providing habitat and shelter for numerous marine organisms. They are often studied for their ecological importance and contributions to biodiversity. In addition to their ecological value, 한국산호 is also significant in traditional crafts and jewelry. Artisans use coral to create beautiful pieces, which are appreciated for their unique colors and textures. However, overharvesting and environmental changes pose threats to these coral populations, making conservation efforts essential.
