As coral propagators hearing startling claims like these are heart wrenching and is what makes our work more important. While laws are being passed to make our work more difficult, we keep up our work in our hobby religiously in a way most will never understand. We hear these kinds of things often and while most say they care, they do nothing to prevent or end it. Australia recently approved dumping of sludge in to the most beautiful reef system on earth, despite it being a world heritage site. The situation only gets worse and more desperate, without any signs of it getting any better. Maybe one day something will change, but being the most destructive species on earth, I'm not optimistic. Keep up the good work reefers.
