This is in the Philippines


Hi Everyone,
Did you know another way that divers catch coral reef fish is with poison called cyanide. The divers pour this poison on the reef, which stuns the fish and kills the coral. Then they rip open the reef with crowbars and catch the fish while they are too sick from the poison to swim away. This poison kills 90% of the fish that live in the reef and the reef is completely destroyed both by the poison and then by being ripped apart.

Cheers Tania
