#worldreefday 🐠🦑🐟🐙🐬🦞🐡🦀 The benefits of a healthy reef ecosystem go far beyond the ocean. Coral reefs are: * essential to the plant and fish life * contribute to a lively fishing industry * protect beaches and coastlines from erosion * act as the oceans filter * provide life-saving medicines and * possibly the one animal on the planet capable of consuming plastic In recent years, our most productive reefs have been in decline due to coral bleaching. For example, the Great Barrier Reef decreased by 40 percent. It’s even worse along the Florida Keys and Caribbean. Their decline is between 85 and 99 percent! What causes coral reefs to die off? * Rising sea temperatures * Industrial pollution, plastic pollution, sewage * Chemical sunscreens and * Unmanaged, high-density tourism all threaten coral reefs #windhamtravel #wanderlust #underthesea #wearetheworld https://www.instagram.com/p/CA6LrSins-v/?igshid=1ojbet94zw41d

Coral reefs are less than 1% of the Earth’s surface, but are home to more than a quarter of all marine species

About 6 months ago on a snorkeling trip. Aan area of the reef that survived Elnino in 2015. It was lush back then, it still is now. I'm visiting this site again in a couple of hours. #reef #globalcoralbleaching #worldreefday #huvantrips #saltwateradventures #maldives (at Veyvah) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByNFIcAAgmB/?igshid=sm9aq6r0s9i2

Image by @jim_abernethy // Today is World Reef Day! Scientists say that 25% of our aquatic life lives and depends on our oceans reefs, yet our ocean reefs are faced with insurmountable threats such as global warming, acidity, pollution, overfishing, sewage, chemicals such as damaging sunscreens etc. Because of these threats and others presently roughly 75% of them are already dead or threatened. In some places 95% of the hard corals are already dead. Over 50% of our oxygen and roughly 70% of our protein comes from our oceans! We must do all we can to correct all the mistakes of our past immediately! Please help save our oceans! @jim_abernethy @wildlifevoiceinc @sealegacy #TurningTheTide #worldreefday #Bethechangetheworldneeds #stopneedlessslaughter #6thextinction #inspirational #beautiful #bethevoice #globalwarming #acidification #pollution #overfishing #chemicalstress #glyphosate (at Florida Keys) https://www.instagram.com/jim_abernethy/p/ByLUDhhJmMJ/?igshid=11e2fpvzckyc0
