Problem is, even in protected areas there isn't anyone out there protecting! Off the UK, we need an MPA protection force. Instead we're getting more nuclear weapons. ?

It’s not just the Great Barrier Reef that we need to protect. There are efforts to restore the ancient Posidonia meadows around the world. Australians need to protect our seagrass. Anchor damage in popular tourist spots is causing permanent damage.

Coral reefs doing fine though. In fact they're better than ever. You don't read that at the BBC very often do you? thegwpf.com/peter-ridd-recor…
