I do not see the purpose of this article, if marine life looks good in the sanctuary, why are we having an article on several possible threats to resources. It seems like every scientist these day wants to contribute to the gloom and doom picture -- what for to make the news. I am tired of these scientists having nothing real t o say when other conservatuibs groups like /sea /shepherd are facing real battles.
