I just returned from a scuba trip on the second largest reef system in the world In Caribbean. I return there every year at the same time. The condition of that ecosystem can only be described as apocalyptic. The change in condition in just one year is devastating. I am sorry to have witnessed such devastation.

For many years, we vacationed on St. John in the Virgin Islands. Snorkeling permitted me to make the same observations you did while you dived, David. The reefs chronicle the heavy footprint of humankind. They are ailing.

The devastation of the reefs here in the Keys is tragic. Torrential rains since beginning of December. But we have a brown shirt private army for the guv.

That's very sad. I will probably never see a coral reef in my lifetime, but to know that such a critical ecosystem is being destroyed is devastating. What will happen to the species that rely on it?
