BBC News - Coral reefs heading for fishing and climate crisis

One of nature's great creations, needing our help badly.
"Three-quarters of the world's coral reefs are at risk due to overfishing, pollution, climate change and other factors..."
We should sustainably fish (http://www.edf.org/page.cfm?tagID=79 ), and use catch shares (harvest sharing to prevent greedy over-catch).

Buy and eat the species with more healthy populations
Wild salmon from Alaska and canned salmon are good; pink shrimp from Oregon, and Albacore tuna from the US or Canada are good; canned light tuna is ok.
All those are also considered relatively low of mercury or PCBs too (full seafood guide here: http://www.edf.org/page.cfm?tagID=1521 )

Use canvas bags at the store (plastics find their way into the oceans); don't throw stuff in your gutter, put cigarette butts in ashtrays, etc.
Be mindful to reduce pollution, which will find its way downstream into the ocean.

Try to cut carbon use, do a house energy audit http://www.gosolarcalifornia.org/csi/step1.php

Try to support sustainable fishing practices, to help organizations that train and aide fisherman who use dynamite to catch fish, etc.
