Uploaded by : Essays-Now.com

The writer reviews Martin Downs's article "Keeper of the Reefs," which appeared in the Spring 2004 issue of OnEarth. Downs explains the damage man has caused to coral reefs around the world with global warming, overfishing and other human activity. Downs translates these activities into percentages of reefs destroyed worldwide, and concludes that millions of years of oceanic development will become extinct and species will vanish if the trends are not reversed. The paper is three pages long and there are three sources listed in the bibliography.
