![]() I saw this article this morning and I was totally blown away by the destruction (pun not intended).

Out of sight, out of mind I guess...

![]() Yes, you're quite right, I wonder that too. One thing that stook out in that article is the giant mat of algae that was forming and covering the area, that will certainly slow things down or cease them all together. It also makes me wonder how long it will take when you hear about al of the healthy reefs failing...
