In all, the tropical wonderland in the central Pacific Ocean protects about 100 species of stony corals, not to mention the 275 different reef fish that live among them.
The coral varieties come in shades of pink, purple or beige, in many cases amassing to look like a spiky collection of drywall anchors or a misshapen cantaloupe.
The atoll is known for its abundance of coralline algae, the primary reef-building species there, and the pink hue it creates.
The national monument is also a national wildlife refuge, and one of the most pristine in the world, an undisturbed sanctuary for sea turtles, sharks, and seabirds, too.
Rose Atoll is part of American Samoa, with the local name Nu'u o Manu, or Village of Seabirds, and is the southernmost point of the U.S.

These two pictures are related because they are both in terrestrial ecosystems. In terrestrial ecosystems the light is very prominent. Aquatic ecosystems differ in that the light does not travel into the deep water.
To encourage the revival of ecosystems everywhere, UNEP has published a practical guide to ecosystem restoration. Released at the start of the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration 2021-2030, the Ecosystem Restoration Playbook provides an introduction to the range of actions that can slow and halt the degradation of ecosystems and foster their recovery.

The North West Coast Academic Health Science Network (NWC AHSN) explored the issues that alcohol abuse poses to the healthcare sector at their quarterly ecosystem event held on 14th July at Select Security Stadium in Widnes.
Attended by more than 100 industry and public sector experts, businesses, and academia, the event discussed the current system for alcohol A&E attendances and the challenges faced by services.
Presenters included Professor Sir Ian Gilmore, Chairman, Liverpool Health Partners, Professor Mike Pearson, Professor of Clinical Evaluation, University of Liverpool and Ali Wheeler, Director, Drink Wise.
Dr Liz Mear, chief executive of the NWC AHSN, said: “Alcohol abuse is placing increased pressure on our hospitals and emergency services and it’s critical that we target the root of the problem, rather than attempting to come up with short-term reactive solutions. Unfortunately, it is a growing problem and alcohol-related illness currently makes up ten percent of the UK disease burden as well as being the cause of six percent of road causalities and nearly one in five road deaths.
“This event brought together experts in the field, including public sector workers, industry partners, and academics, to share information and explore new, innovative ways in which to collaboratively tackle this critical issue.”
Currently, it is estimated that alcohol-related harm in England costs the health sector over £20 billion each year. Although it is a national concern, alcohol abuse in North West remains a significant problem with 11 out of the 18 areas in the NWC AHSN region displaying higher morbidity and mortality rates compared with the national average.
The event was held as part of the NWC AHSN’s ecosystem events. Hosted every four months, the ecosystem brings together representatives from the NHS, local councils, academic organisations and industry to work together and tackle health challenges by encouraging the uptake of connected technological healthcare solutions.

Greenhouse: Supporting the Social Enterprise Ecosystem
The social enterprise business model is rapidly gaining traction on a global scale. Today, social enterprises make up approximately 3 percent of businesses worldwide, generating over $2 trillion in annual revenue and creating more than 200 million jobs. There is immense economic potential to be realized when governments, corporations, and philanthropic organizations partner with social enterprises that put people and the planet first. From businesses that scale solutions to make health care more equitable to initiatives that improve education access for underserved populations, there is great opportunity to collaborate with social enterprises to collectively advance impact goals and catalyze transformative societal change. This session will bring together impact entrepreneurs as well as public and private sector intrapreneurs to explore collaborative partnerships, funding opportunities, and comprehensive solutions that enable social enterprises, especially those founded by traditionally marginalized entrepreneurs, to scale and thrive. Participants Ragina Arrington, CEO, Clinton Foundation: CGI University David Heath, Co-Founder and CEO, Bombas Gilbert Houngbo, Director General, International Labour Organization Aurora James, Founder, Brother Vellies; 15 Percent Pledge Shelia Johnson, Founder and CEO, Salamander Collection Raj Kumar, President and Editor-in-Chief, Devex Monique Nsanzabaganwa, Deputy Chairperson, African Union Commission Alexandra van der Ploeg, Head of Corporate Social Responsibility, SAP
