    Along with CO2 they also need to put a ban on man made fertilizers. Go back to the basics, good old animal poo. A huge amount less, in run off chemicals/by products/toxins. Gotta do something soon.

    I watched a huge documentary on reefs not too long ago, and they had some interesting stuff about it as well. A lot of places have rampant mangrove harvesting, which is allowing an excessive amount of silt directly onto reefs around some islands, completely destroying them by lowering the oxygen content, changing PH, etc. Sad stuff
