56 min video. How Humans Are Destroying The Last Coral Reefs | The Coral Reefs Are Dying | Earth Stories

Australia’s Great Barrier Reef is wonderful, beautiful – and alive. But for how long? Originally filmed in 1993, this documentary looks at one of the few remaining live coral reefs and why the coral reefs around the world are still dying 28 years later.

Or is the only answer to stop eating fish? My new strategy is to look up what invasive species they want removed. They're usually fair game with no size requirement It's wild to me that the European eel is classified as critically endangered, but you can buy it at almost any fish shop or market here in the Netherlands. 10 years ago I remember seeing them by the bucket on markets, but I haven't seen that in a long time. Something tells me that is not out of kindness but rather that there just aren't that many left.
