Although I finally felt like I was
on the right track, I couldn't help but feel frustrated that the constant media
and global attention on plastics and fossil fuels were distracting from an industry
we hear almost nothing about, with a much, much greater impact
on the sea. Digging deeper, I discovered this was also true
when it came to coral reefs. With scientists predicting the loss
of 90% of reefs by the year 2050, the only mainstream narrative on why
reefs were dying was climate change. But hardly anyone was talking about
the fact fish were vital to keep corals alive. The ecosystem on coral reefs
is heavily based on recycling

Although I finally felt like I was
on the right track,
00:00:04.378 --> 00:00:06.171
I couldn't help but feel frustrated
00:00:06.255 --> 00:00:08.215
that the constant media
and global attention
00:00:08.298 --> 00:00:09.967
on plastics and fossil fuels
00:00:10.001 --> 00:00:13.178
were distracting from an industry
we hear almost nothing about,
00:00:13.262 --> 00:00:15.681
with a much, much greater impact
on the sea.
00:00:15.764 --> 00:00:16.849
Digging deeper,
00:00:16.932 --> 00:00:20.031
I discovered this was also true
when it came to coral reefs.
00:00:20.394 --> 00:00:24.398
With scientists predicting the loss
of 90% of reefs by the year 2050,
00:00:24.481 --> 00:00:27.818
the only mainstream narrative on why
reefs were dying was climate change.
00:00:28.318 --> 00:00:31.488
But hardly anyone was talking about
the fact fish were vital
00:00:31.572 --> 00:00:33.073
to keep corals alive.
