mmk said: "The coral is coming back out there", so nice to hear that. Now, if snorklers, all over the Caribbean/world would practise that, many of the coral beds, which have been destroyed by people standing on the reefs or breaking off a souvenir might come back in 50 years. Exactly. It takes many, many years (around 100)for the coral to grow 1 inch, so the term "coming back" probably means "not in our lifetime". People looking for a "souvenir" don't realize the long term damage they are doing to the reef system. If only they would take pictures instead of shells or coral.
