noted and joined campaign! This is an extremely crucial situation. Our coral reefs are dying out in huge numbers due to the pollution that goes into our oceans. The reefs provide a sanctuary for marine life. Without those reefs, we are destined to lose many forms of fish and more. We need to clean up our act and protect the reefs, marine life and oceans.

As a former reef diver, I know of no other more magical places on our blessed planet. If they die they take them, the most perfectly evolved ecosystem we have and they take with them the foundations of the oceanic feeding system. We could betray our planet and the gift of our own lives in no more egregious way.
