Zeev's Turnips Patch-No Politics (ZEEV)

My problem with that is the loss of 'fixed sealife'.

Living reef organisms, especially coral, recover very slowly. Coral harvested for souvenir and aquarium purposes is a major problem, an entire coral reef flooded with crude would be a calamity. You can reseed the coral after the oil is gone, but we won't see recovery in my lifetime, it just plain grows too slow.
