Hi <<First Name>>, |
Coral Concerns |
Nature News
|
Did you know that coral reefs cover less than 0.1% of our ocean, but they are home to 25% of its wildlife? And that more than 500 million people depend on reef fish for food and livelihoods? But their contribution to our planet doesn’t stop there: coral reefs also help protect coastlines from the damaging effects of waves, storms and floods. And with global warming making extreme weather events ever more frequent, our coastlines need all the protection they can get.

Since the 1950’s, half of all coral reefs have been lost. According to a new study, Coral reefs in the western Indian Ocean are at risk of extinction by 2070 due to warming temperatures and overfishing. That’s less than 50 years, a timeline that could be in your lifetime and most certainly is in that of your children.
|
|
However, there is still time to reverse this devastating trend and help bring coral back to life. A reef in Indonesia was devastated by blast fishing, an extremely damaging practice where explosives are used to stun or kill everything in the area. Over a decade, the reef has been re-seeded with new corals and scientists who "eavesdropped" on the restored reef say their recordings of fish "whooping, croaking and growling" are the reef coming back to life.
|
There are many things we can all do to help protect coral reefs. From reef-friendly sunscreen to conserving water, or even something as simple as watching a 'Film That Grows Coral', with something as beautiful and as fragile as our coral reefs, we must all do our part to protect.

The menace of Microplastics
|
Microplastics are another problem that is hitting coral reefs hard. A microplastic is any piece of plastic that’s less than 5 millimeters in length and they are now so common as to be ubiquitous. From obvious small plastics such as glitter to less obvious ones such the microplastics found in cosmetics and toothpaste, microplastics are a huge threat to our oceans – and get to the ocean they do, since they are too small to be filtered out by wastewater treatment plants.
|
In a positive new development, however, an animal from the very oceans we are contaminating has inspired a solution. By studying the way a manta ray feeds on plankton, scientists in the US have designed a filtration system that captures the tiny fragments without getting clogged.
|
We hope it is not too late to heal our coral reefs. It’s a topic we did not know much about before writing this newsletter, but we do know that our coral reefs are a vital part of the global ecosystem and they must be healed, restored and protected.

HomeoPet – Natural Pet Care For 26 Years
|
Tom Farrington MRCVS., MVB., VetMFHom - recognized many years ago the increasing demand for alternative natural treatments for common conditions that, while not life-threatening, cause suffering in animals. Previous ways of treating such conditions were with expensive and often harmful drugs that had significant unwanted side effects. In 1990 Tom enrolled his brother Daniel to see if there might be a market for a safe, naturally based therapy for animals. After several years of research, in 1994 Tom's vast knowledge of animal health, veterinary medicine, homeopathy and natural pet care became available outside his clinic, when his brother Daniel founded HomeoPet and launched a range of natural medicines for animals. We have been helping pet owners and animal lovers around the world find a more natural route to pet health ever since.
