We know that ocean acidification is the main cause in the destruction of coral reefs. We know that coral bleaching plays a main part, and that the rising temperature of the water is also causing damage to reefs. But the blatancy of this practice just shocks me to the bone: blast fishing, otherwise known as dynamite fishing. This mostly illegal practice involves using explosives to either stun or kill schools of fish in order to collect them easier. You think this sounds ridiculous, wait till you see the footage of this. This video pretty much spells it all out for you so I don’t have to say much. (Not that I have much to say after being shaken by that.) Equipped with shocking footage and a pretty cool sountrack, this video provides superb details about blast fishing. Just look at how massive the explosions are. I don’t care how much money they’re being paid for this (though it isn’t much at all), it’s wrong, careless, irresponsible, and just plain stupid. Seriously, people!
Well, glad I could vent about the insanity of this monstrosity. Please, feel free to share your thoughts as well. Happy hump day!

Maryline, this really is sick. It is horrible to see that things like this actually happen. I just don’t understand how any logical person can see the benefits of this outweighing the costs of the destruction it does. Thanks for the video!
