Quotes about coral reefs

Hello:D

I have found some quotes about coral reefs, I'm not so sure if it is true. I came across these on the Internet.

" There has long been a belief that the sea, at least, was inviolate, beyond man's ability to change and to despoil. But this belief, unfortunately, has proved to be naive. "-Rachel Carson


" Pollution,
overfishing, and overuse have put many of our unique reefs at risk. Their disappearance would destroy the habitat of countless species. It would unravel the web of marine life that holds the potential for new chemicals, new medicines, unlocking new mysteries. It would have a devastating effect on the coastal communities from Cairns to Key West, Florida -- communities whose livelihood depends upon the reefs. "--President Bill Clinton.

I understand both. And here's one that is not so easy to understand. Actually, I have no idea whay he's talking about.

" Cradle to Myriads of Species Millennia to Create Moments to Destroy "--Jim Morris

Okay. Maybe I'm getting the idea.
Anyway, hope you find these quotes useful and maybe, it might help you understand why we should protect the coral reefs.

Bye.
will be posting more.
