What disturbs me about the photos is that it appears that someone blasted holes in the reef for a boat access and two swimming pools. Perhaps it'ss just a sandbar, but I'd like to know more.

True. The local people might not realise how much they're destroying their future and heritage, but those with the bucks that tempt them should either know better or be constrained by others that do. It's easy to blame a poor country for exploiting its resources, but we 'rich' ought to put our money and values where our 'mouth' is and make sure the money goes to them for correct things, like eco-friendly use of reef and tours. If every developed-country resident who thought the existence of a rainforest was worth $5 a year to them personally, directed that actual amount to the owners of the rainforest, then it can economically have some intrinsic value above arable land. Anyway, this is a lot like the blocks of Fijian 'living rock' that are chiselled off reef and sold in aquarium shops in the states. Read more, act more, he http://www.reefguardian.org -- Ken Tough |
