Finding, and keeping, too many Nemos !
The Times newspaper have reported big concerns over the future of the world's reefs due to exploitation by the aquarium industry. For further details see the following link: Rare Coral Reefs Plundered For Fish Tanks . They also report on the threats from the Crown of Thorns Startfish: Gem of a coral reef eaten alive by starfish. Additionall the USGS have also reported on the plight of corals in light of the acidification of the oceans. Things do not appear to be looking too good !
