As if the poor planet didn't have enough to try and deal with.
I hope the reef is more resilient than recent worrying reports tend to indicate.
Oh come on
- if there is a spill, even a big one, on 'the reef' the tiny proportion actually effected will be in greater danger from the clean up than the oil. Have you ever actually seen 'the reef'? Its HUGE - thousands of reefs over hundreds of 1000s of square nm constantly being replenished of polyps from other reefs further out in the Pacific/PNG etc.
The Great barrier Reef is not fragile.
