“Coral reefs are under assault. They are rapidly being degraded by human activities. They are over-fished, bombed and poisoned. They are smothered by sediment, and choked by algae growing on nutrient-rich sewage and fertilizer run-off.

Each of these pressures is bad enough in itself, but together, the cocktail is proving lethal.” WorldHumansEnoughRunningTogetherAnimalRichGrowingActivityProveCreaturesOceanPressureAssaultStressedIrresponsibleTourismCocktailsHuman ActivityReefsNutrientsFertilizerSewageAlgaeCoral Reefs Author:Klaus Topfer
