The Value of Coral

Video Title :	The Value of Coral
Description :	"Sadly, coral does not have the same value as diamonds; actually the coral does not have a lot of value at all". Coral grows, you can cultivate it and just like a diamond, it's rare. One percent of the world oceans is covered by reef, reef is considered endangered but still not valuable. 99% of Bonaire's shoreline is covered by Coral. Coral reefs are the largest structures created by any group of animals in the world.If our shorelines where made out of gemstone, then there would be an army of police force protecting these corals to make sure nobody would ever touch or takes any species. Nobody would be allowed to disturb its health or it's growth. Bonaire then would be the safest place on earth. But still it seem that our reef and reef fish does not have that kind of value. Divers are braking and touching the coral to get the picture of a sea horse, shore lines are being excavated to build villas nobody can effort, cruise ships and airplanes are dumping their waste water. The funny thing about all this protection: we actually don't need permission to protect the coral. We don't need to wait for the government to send out a Zero tolerance policy. We don't need the permission of the marine park before starting protecting the coral and give it his value it so much deserves. We can start now,"don't touch, don't brake, you can only take pictures and leave footprints" If you see something, say something

well done Sean..as always..Hendrick too..

Thank you for all of your work for awareness of how fragile Bonaire is. I've visited many times. Your videos are wonderful!

thank you for this videoq

amen to that

Great work! If we can't save Bonaire, the world is lost.

The biggest threat to coral reefs is not divers but GLOBAL WARMING.

Thank goodness for people like you - who are prepared to stand up and educate the ignorant. Keep it coming.

Very well done! Keep the truth coming!

Awesome job! Please keep up the great work you are doing to help protect such a great place.

Absolutely beautifully done & to the point. Need to spread the film all over the world & educate everyone about the delicate nature of all coral creatures. Folks might not realize coral is a living creature & not just a rock sitting in water. I hope millions view the new film produced on Bonaire. We make every effort to educate all re: the "do's and dont's" in the ocean waters. Conflict of Iterest w/ Director of TCB being on Board of STINAPA is an understatement! Ayo. Carole B.
