    its the begining of the end, so sad. i know dive sites all over the world arent what they used to once be. its really depressing. one reason i try not buy anything that is wild caught.

    Interesting article though it acts as a double edged sword. Finding new life in parts of the world that we never knew existed is nice, but finding out that alot of the sea life is dying as well raises a big red flag and should reassure our notion that something needs to be done and soon to right this ship so that we will be able to save life, moreover, this may enable our kids and their kids to have the opportunity to share in the beauty, diversity and amazing reef biotope!
    We need to react logically and act globally...
