After reading countless online articles about this and watching some SKY News reports about the devastating effects of human kinds lack of care for the habitats of our most beautiful animals - I have no feeling that things are turning around nor do I have enough knowledge to help bring awareness to the caretakers of our planet. Myself being a 'head over heals in love' aquarist since I was 14 years old (now 28). Eventhough I have a great love for these animals I realise that there is still so much I don't know about our underwater world and the effects our upper world has on it. I always say to friends that I never watch the news because it's never inspiring. It's always bad news. There needs to be more inspiring news of our planets recovery. No matter how small.

I always say to friends that I never watch the news because it’s never inspiring. It’s always bad news. There needs to be more inspiring news of our planets recovery. No matter how small.

Cutting non-sustainable seafood out of your diet (and even your fishes' diets by making DIY sustainable food) is a simple thing everyone can do to help preserve the reefs that we love. A good place to start is the guide that is available at seafoodwatch.org -- you can easily access it from a mobile site, print out a pocket guide, or even access it from an iphone app when you are out to dinner and need to figure out what is sustainable.

I decided to become a marine bio major after falling in love with this hobby a few years back and since have done about 3 reports on this topic. Its so sad that within a century so many corals will be gone. I have actually been looking into this for some time now.
