Coral Reef in Danger -
Jan Thiel, Curacao - part 1

The coral reef at Jan Thiel-Sorsaka in Curaçao is healthy, highly developed and of an exceptional beauty. Magnificent stands of endangered Elkhorn (Acropora palmata) and Staghorn Coral (A. cervicornis, with some of the Elkhorn corals not 10 ft from the rocky shore.  Large mountaineous star corals and forests of soft corals. A conservation zone, but under threat of a large hotel development plan, with the government intending to overturn the conservation status. Take a look at what will surely be lost if these plans are not stopped. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYoISMFWOV0

Coral Reef in Danger - Jan Thiel, Curacao - part 2… cont. from part 1

This magnificent reef is so close to shore that it will be seriously impacted by a huge hotel bordering directly on the cliff shore and with a large artificial beach in the places that are now natural coral rubble beach on fossil coral rock. For the artificial beach, the rock will be blown up crushed and excavated, break waters built and sand brought in from elsewhere, in the process choking the reef far downstream. If the hotel is built it will destroy the very resource that attract tourists. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2_HSs4Ri3k
