killer seaweed

a study shows that a chemical in seaweed damages coral reefs on contact. usually seaweede is eaten by herbavouris fish but due to overfishing sea weed is over populating reefs and killing them. this isnt a large problem ompared to the damage humans are doing to the reef but its a growing problem and could eventually become extremely harmful to coral reefs. in the study between 40 and 70 percent of the seaweeds they tested killed corals.
i think that fishing limits should be made all around the world. i know the price of fish will go up but we'll be saving something natrual and beutiful. people should stop being so selfish and start trying to protect the coral reefs because who knows how much longer they will last.
