All right, fans of diving & snorkeling! Time to speak up!
I have a set of related questions I have been wondering about for some time:
(1) How much damage to Dominican corral reefs is uncontrolled or poorly controlled snorkeling & diving doing?
(2) Which areas of the DR are the most adversely affected?
(3) Who's doing a good job of minimizing adverse impacts, and how?
(4) Should there be some sort of system to inform prospective tourists of who is doing a proper job of reef stewardship, and if so, what kind? Who should run it?
(5) Any other ideas on how best to address the problem?
