Hi guys; we’re back in Isla Verde , where the constant growth of coral amazes me. As we’ve traveled to other destinations expecting bountiful returns of colorful coral, we find bleached and dying coral. Why ? Some places are damaged by man and it’s obvious while other sites are a mystery. Ocean temperatures have been constant for the 15 years we’ve been monitoring the oceans. Some places have blocked off the flow such as the Keys in Florida and warming has occurred beyond normal for years now. I’m hearing the great reefs of Australia are now bleaching beyond repair. I find believing the so called facts just to convenient . The Great Barrier reef is open to the southern Indian Ocean and exposed to a massive chemical dump along with massive plastic dumping and who knows what other unwanted debris swept under the waves. As far as we can tell the water temperature has been constant at tolerable levels but a natural level of bleaching isn’t what we see. We’re seeing a death across the reefs on a massive scale. Something only mans hand can effect , not nature.
On a scale of hidden truths we’d say this is one of the worst cover ups in world history. Blame it on the average human , cow farts, the green deal that we’ve ignored , on and on into the blame game and ignore the truth. We’re being polluted by chemical dumping and forever chemicals don’t go away. they just accumulate more and more until the reefs and humans choke on the shit that keeps products store fresh. please stop these crimes against humanity now. Our world is at stake.
We’ve gone to two sites showing stress in just the last couple weeks. The natural degradation has overtaken some of the reef as new coral springs up. It’s a process that combs the sea bed adding limestone to the oceans floor for a regrowth, maybe next season or ten years from now but coral is very resilient when given a chance to thrive. Think of it as a forest after a fire. Clears, cleans and leaves great nutrients for the next generation to use. It’s a natural cycle. It’s also easy to point out the manufactured damage as opposed to natural die off.
Most people don’t dive or look at what’s there in a scientific way. People just want to enjoy the cool of the water, feel the mist and trust there will always be living oceans to produce the oxygen needed to breath our air above the reefs. They want to fish and catch their limit. We would like to see their dreams come true but until we look deeper into the web of deceit and address the poisons frivolously dumped over the reefs, we are doomed. If the waters are too polluted for safe swimming how do the creatures that live there feel? We have no place to escape to and once we destroy our paradise it’s gone.
In most of our posts we allow for everyone to think for themselves. Ask the questions that come to mind. We also try to pack enough information to feed those brain cells with the questions. I know everyone reading these posts have empathy for the people and planet around them to follow through, to ask.
As with most crises now days the false denial always points to we the people. If only each and every one of us would have done something to help. That’s shifting the blame away from the factories and organized leaders taking the payoffs. It’s not your fault or responsibility but chasing your tail keeps you busy. let’s instead try sending a message of concern to our representatives explaining how drastic the problem has become. Just don’t believe the ” global Warming ” is the root of our problem. We’ve had enough of that lie, or the nicer term of ” misinformation ” that dismisses responsibility in such a flowery way.
As we swim the reefs here I can’t help thinking we’re protected by neutral government around the South China Sea. Today the reefs are vibrant, alive and producing the worlds fish in mass that no farming or hatcheries could ever match. It’s a marvel to watch the births of hatchlings or the puffs of coral spores during a full moon. It fills our hearts with hope, survival and even abundance. That we do address this very important issue is paramount to our lives and most of us don’t even know the importance of keeping our waters clean.
Unlike Australia where the Great Barrier is open to one of the worlds largest oceans, aided by deep water currents to keep cool. Between Indonesia and the Philippines is shallow waters running through thousands of islands. One thought is those shallow areas filter some of the forever chemicals along their flow helping protect the young schools and coral. We would like to examine some of our theories in more detail and plan to although our budget only allows for slow inspection and what we can see as proof with our monitoring systems. It’s rather antique but proven methods for the last few hundred years. Spreading the word is also grass root growth and we could use your help. please help spread the word. Let’s clean the gyres , enable more clean water to flow and live happy, healthy lives.
