Land-Based Pollution Sources Are Main Threats to Coral Reefs
- "The reason this issue is so important is that we're losing our coral reefs at a very accelerated rate. These systems are basically in catastrophic decline in many parts of the globe, and South Florida is probably losing coral even faster than other parts of the world. This research, I believe, makes it clear that one of the key problems is pollution from land-based sources." - excerpt from Harbor Branch marine scientist Dr.Brian Lapointe in the ENN article at http://www.enn.com/direct/display-release.asp?objid=D1D1366D000000FA9BA331BC6941D002
