Recent reports indicate that sunscreens are causing significant damage to coral. Evidently sunscreens that use oxeybenzone are toxic to coral and a single drop of the chemical can impact a huge volume of water. You can find more details on this if you Google news on sunscreen impact on coral. You can use sunscreens that use titanium oxide or zinc oxide are evidently not a problem.
