| Sunscreen Linked to Coral Damage
On the way to work I read a report in Geographical on research by Italian scientists that up to 10% of coral reefs are threatened by bleaching caused by chemicals in sunscreens. It made me wonder… Would you change your sunscreen given the research? Does anyone know what sunscreens are safe and will not damage coral? For Instructors/DM would you recommend to students they change sunscreen? Or don’t you believe this type of research?
