The images in this video really got to me after I saw the effects of human interference on coral reefs. Just look at the side by side comparisons of the pristine, flourishing reef and the one that’s had human disturbances. It’s an easy to understand video and if your attention span is disturbingly short like mine, it’s not long at all.
I think the synergetic relationship between fishing and the prosperity of the reefs is actually really interesting. It just proves that the more an area is overfished, the more damaged the coral reefs in that area, and that will result in a less abundant habitat of fish in the area. It’s a fascinating vid, check it out and see what you think.

Yea Maryline, thanks for posting this! It’s very informative and great to see people working towards a balance between conservation and what local people need as far as fishing goes.
Thanks guys. I think that was what attracted me so much was that fishing is beneficial to corals, but only if it doesn’t get carried away. I think if the fisheries cared enough, they could work well with these people.
Coral reefs..fascinating. At first glance, without any reason; the thought of Ariel, flounder and sebastian just came to me. Back when I was still into cartoons, one of which was the little mermaid (I know..what was I thinking right? Hey I was young) I was always captivated by the wonderful terrain of the sea. Do you guys remember when they would sing; and every time without fail there would be fish, turtles, sharks, mermaids and mermans swimming around dramatically singing along..those were the days. We should really take an initiative in looking into this.
