Tags: conservation, coral reefs, fish populations, fragile coral, overfishing, parrotfish, summary of science
An excellent description in layman’s terms of a scientific study about how the decline of fish populations is causing fishermen to turn their attention to the parrotfish, and how declining parrotfish populations are leading to algae accumulations on coral reefs: yet another way that the exceedingly fragile coral is being threatened.

A professional view of Green Chemistry for the general reader
Having worked in Green Chemistry since about 1990, I hope to offer comments that help you evaluate what is really good for the environment, what helps but could be better, and what is undesirable. This is my second blog- the first reviews fiction, but since I put some Green Chemistry there out of impatience, there are cross-references between the blogs. Comments are welcome and encouraged!
