What part are humans playing in the destruction of coral reefs around the world? This question has so many answers it's hard to narrow it down, between greenhouse gases, scuba diving/snorkeling, coastal development, drudging and dumping we are singlehandedly destroying one of our most fragile marine systems we have on the Earth. Considering the fact that they are so delicate you’d conclude that they are susceptible to the smallest of things, right? Well ⅔ of the world’s coral reefs are dying off, and if current conditions continue 70% of them may be gone by 2050.
