Over 75% of the Tunamaya reef has been wiped out over the last 4-years. Not by climate change, rising sea levels, or pollution.
Here feet are the reefs greatest predator. Day after day, guest after guest walks out onto the reef, smashing decades of coral growth.
The baby fish loose their place to hide; soon the fish population begins to decline rapidly.
Without fish to eat the alga, the coral growing deeper and further from the beach get smothered.
The adolescent fish loose their place to hide; soon the fish population collapses.
Climate change, rising sea levels, and pollution are monolithic unsolvable problems for the individual.
But, not walking on the reef and picking up trash from the beach. Well, that's easy enough to do.
