When monitoring coral reefs simply isn't enough

February 21, 2018 - Scubareefing

Many efforts in reef conservation are limited to monitoring programs. It's easy to destroy the fragile coral reef. Just drop a large anchor watch it drag and you end up with rubble. Or maybe just reclaim land for "economic purposes" without forethought for the environment. After all, it's not something we can see all the time as its in the water.

The reality is that many coastal reefs today have suffered tremendously over the last few decades from destructive human activities. Fortunately, more and more people are interested in looking after the reefs. SCUBA Diving has become an increasingly popular activity across people of all ages and from every nation.
