The beautiful reefs and colrals in Florida Keys are being harmed by humans. We are destroying something that is irriplaceable. I agree that we humans need to make an effort in keeping our enviroment clean. Not only do we need to create wastewater treatment facilities but we need to enforce the law of littering. We need to limit the the water-related activites, so we can keep our oceans uncontaminated. This article is a great way to spread awareness on the affect of how humans are polluting our earth. Not only is our activities on the water affecting the ocean, but also in the atmosphere. We need to be more aware of what we do that contributes to the polluting of our earth.

Human Pathogen Killing Corals in the Florida Keys
Annie T. -- Corals in the Florida Keys are being destroyed by humans disposal of sewage which causes white pox disease in the Caibbean elkhorn coral. This white pox takes fives days to appear definite evidence that humans are the source of this pathogen. Florida Keys is a popular tourist attraction, where humans spend money on water-related activities. By doing so, humans are polluting our water and destroying the ecosystem that the sea creatures live in. Diseases such as HIV or bird flu, have also made an impact on the decline in population of marin invertebrate. These diseases from humans are killing corals, but we can solve this problem with wastewater treatment. The University of Gerogia and The Collins College have funded 2.2 million dollars to help investigate the affect of white pox in the Florida Keys.
