I try to inform people of all the critters that live in our SoCal kelp forests so they will come to understand their natural history and, hopefully, want to protect them... or at least not harm them through their own actions. I do so through my weekly newspaper column, cable TV shows and educational DVDs.
Coral reef ecosystems are generally more sensitive to damage by divers than our kelp forests and rocky reefs in SoCal. Unfortunately divers in tropical waters are often vacation divers who are not as well trained or experienced, and therefore can do a lot of damage. Tstormdiver certainly laid out three important areas to focus on.
