The ocean basin that has the most coral reefs is the Indo-Pacific Ocean basin. The Indo-Pacific Ocean encompasses a vast area that stretches from the eastern coast of Africa to the central Pacific Ocean, including the Red Sea, Indian Ocean, and western and central Pacific Ocean. This region is home to a rich diversity of coral reefs, including iconic locations such as the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, the Coral Triangle (encompassing Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Papua New Guinea, and the Solomon Islands), and the Maldives. The Indo-Pacific Ocean basin is renowned for its extensive coral reef systems, which support a wide array of marine life and are considered some of the most biologically diverse ecosystems on Earth.
