Today's CNN Internet version has a good article about the health of the world's coral reefs. As you might imagine, it is not good news.
Here is the link

Thanks for the reference. A decent article and one that is quite sobering. Unfortunately land-locked people (and even many in seaside areas) have no concept what the loss of reefs, and the ocean resources, means to the world's ecology and economy as a whole.

Land locked people have no monopoly on ignorance, willful or otherwise. Look at the various parties of Bonaire and the negligence with regard to the sewage issues.
