marks)
Slide 47
Educating individuals and groups such as fishermen, farmers
hoteliers and even tourists would be part of the effort to increase
awareness about the importance of reefs and to encourage all to
protect them. Governments have established and should continue to
establish marine-protected zones around important coastal regions
inhabited by coral species and fish as the official stance or
policy in the fight to guard the reefs.
Slide 48
Laws should be passed to protect the shoreline and to establish
activities that would be viewed as criminal and against the
environment. Such laws would be against pollution of the seas and
would guard against activities such as trawling, a method of
fishing that can damage the reef and alter its environment.
Slide 49
With legislation in place, marine officers would be empowered
to protect the coastline and be watchful of cruise ships and large
yachts, that have been noted to damage the reefs.
Slide 50
Governments could adopt a regional approach to the issue in an
effort to provide a central policy. This would allow for a united

reefs. Governments could share intelligence of the issue and
benefit from a collective aproach.
