No Reefs = No Waves
- "When these organisms die, the reef structures are eaten by mollusks, fish, and others creatures. Over time, reef structures are also eroded from the perpetual motion of waves and the chemical dissolution of an acidic sea. The result, rapidly disappearing coral formations that form the world’s most famous surf breaks from Hawaii and Fiji, to Micronesia and Tahiti. No reefs equal no waves. If trends continue as they have, we will live to see a world without coral reefs within our lifetime, leaving nothing for the future generation of surfers." - excerpt from blog post at purakai.com.
