All reefs around the world are predicted in the FUTURE 75 years to be down 90%. In other words, reefs WILL be down to only 10%. According to that link on the Smithsonian warm water corals in shallow water have an ENORMOUS effect on all marine life. Basically, I take that to mean that people will not be seeing fish in the Publix supermarkets of the Future.
In the Smithsonian article, it was stated........that the past 200 years ocean water has become 30% more ACIDIC and that is FASTER than any CHANGE in the LAST 50 MILLION YEARS
........I can imagine that the last 200 years of increased ocean acidity relates to man's increased CO2 production which increased dramatically with the invention of the internal combustion engine.
