UNESCO lists as in danger - So timid. Admit it - coral worldwide is dying. Some faster than others. A two degree change in ocean temperature is hard on it. Kelly and I snorkled in Mexico, Hawaii, and here in Bali decades ago and he's seen the drastic change, what once was colorful turning gray. I have too. There are some that are adapting but will they adapt to the next degree hotter and the one after that? Not just coral but the variety and plentitude of fish and other ocean life has degreased greatly. Locals tell me how when they were kids there'd be all sorts of colorful, lively sea-life right off the shore just about anywhere. More and more if feels lonely in the water. Meanwhile, the human race is increasing its destructiveness, greatly outpacing attempts and preservation.
