"Coral reefs everywhere are in peril. Many reefs are dead, some are dying, and most are subjected to pollution. How that extermination process is taking place along the coast of America's only continental reef structure, is a story of overpopulation, greed, and negligence." (CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR) This author concludes that the coral reefs off Florida's Atlantic coast are being destroyed by nitrogen pollution found in sewage, drainage, and agriculture runoff that is flowing into Atlantic waters.
