Oceanographers make a remarkable discovery of an extensive reef system near the mouth of the Amazon River, covering an estimated area of 3,600 square miles (9,300 km2). This vast and ecologically significant reef system challenges the assumption that large rivers are incompatible with vibrant coral ecosystems. The finding highlights the richness and complexity of the Amazon River and emphasizes the need for further exploration and conservation efforts in the region.
