This has been suspected for years, but gets more support from this research.

My son and I are now raising coral domestically to provide reef aquarists with a supply of coral without having to damage the reefs any further

I'm as much a conservationist as I am a conservative, and I hope the reefs worldwide can be saved. They're every bit as beautiful and wondrous as the pictures of the Martian landscape we've all being gazing at, and no doubt still hold many surprises for us.

Nonetheless, current Everglades restoration plans, which call for a dramatic increase in the amount of this water released, do not call for reduction in nitrogen concentrations. Lapointe believes this could lead to even more devastation of South Florida reefs. "Based on this and other studies, it's clear we're going to have to reduce nitrogen inputs to Florida Bay if we're going to save downstream reefs in the Keys."

The next plan of assault.

Stone Tools Hold New Clues About Human Evolution
by Patricia Reaney
Wednesday May 3 2000 3:05 PM ET
The geologist at the Centro de Investigacion Cientifica de Educacion Superior (CICESE) in Mexico said the tools could indicate that humans were essentially forced out of their native habitat in the interior of Africa because of the glacial cycles at the time when the climate cooled and dried dramatically... "We were able to date the sequence of coral and shallow marine sediment in which the tools were discovered very accurately and very precisely to 125,000 years ago," he added.
News flash! Humans from 125,000 years ago caused the death of a coral reef! The report about reef kills in the here and now is more rubbish.
