Coral Trouble


After Austrailia the bad news seems to come from Taiwan where the coral reefs on southeastern coast have turned black with a disease possible due to the sewage discharge, thus threatening the entire fragile coastal ecosystem which would eventually lead to a huge loss in the tourism industry.
This long observed problem comprises of extensive coral erosion in Taiwan waters upto 5 meters deep and 300 meters offshore from the two outlying islands. Moreover, the problem seems to take a serious turn when the situation got graver due to plundering of coral reefs and continued dumping of waste in the sea.Fortunately, the government seems keen in getting things right on course.
