Thanks for this Mark and David.
It is surprising to me that I have not heard more about the ecological
disaster that must be taking place as China buries these reefs to make
their islets. Can anyone point me to such articles?
Thank you,
Joe Hannah

*"The prospect of a reef apocalypse in the South China Sea should weigh
heavily on claimant countries, all of which need to rely on fish protein to
feed a burgeoning population of roughly 1.9 billion people."*

Dear Joe,
Thanks for bringing this up, I'd like to hear something about the environmental problems this is bound to be causing too.
