I was at Turks and Caicos last month and didn't see any real problems, but it might have been because I didn't know what to look for.

I also wonder if the hurricane might be responsible for the sand cover. Over the last few years we’ve been there roughly every two months, so I wonder if there are bigger changes that I’m just not noticing? Sort of like not seeing our kids grow in the same way people who only see them once or twice a year notice ‘how tall’ they’ve gotten.I am in Cozumel at the moment and it looks markedly worse than 2023 and 2022. Fish count is way down and reefs are covered with sand, although I suspect that is due to the recent hurricane that skirted the island. Macro here continues to be excellent…I just wish I could spot the little buggers LOL
