As courageous marine conservationists, in Reef Gardens you dive into the dazzling world of coral reefs and take on the mission to save these vital ecosystems. With a skillful hand, you plant new corals and create thriving reef landscapes while the clock ticks and the budget dwindles. To get more research money, you may have to part with existing reefs from time to time so that new ones can be planted. Use your limited resources wisely because sometimes conservation means making difficult compromises...
