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.

Pretty much the same for me. We need to advocate investment in pollution control technology (which is as simple as improved waste- and storm-water treatement plants in many countries) in many Third World countries to address the problem. Who should we talk to?

A couple of months ago, I was on a cruise in the western Caribbean, and we snorkeled off Honduras, where the reef was just awe-inspiring, bright and vibrant and colorful, with fan corals and brain corals and lots of textures and colors. Eager for another experience like that, we went snorkeling again a week later, off Key West. The difference was night and day. There were still lots of fish around, but the reef itself was just so many gray humps.

Too many Buicks and Chevys on the waterways down here.
