Environmental Group Silence While The South China Sea Is Destroyed

                                   The shoals, coral reefs and coral reef islands of the South China Sea that are in dispute, and that are now being developed by China, are causing great harm to many Chinese and people of other nations that rely upon marine food resources.
                                  Destroy the coral reefs, destroy the shoals, destroy the islands, and you destroy an invaluable, irreplaceable marine food resource.
                                   No matter what any Chinese or Filipino or anyone else might think regarding who owns these islands and shoals, the bottom line is that once these shoals, coral reefs and islands are destroyed, there will be less food left for everyone.
                                    And no, Mr. X., these natural marine structures that give home and life to abundant marine animals, including endangered sea turtles, cannot be restored once destroyed. And yes it is true many of the reefs and islands have already been destroyed by dynamite and cyanide fishermen, and by other countries, which is your ridiculous excuse for why it is okay for China to carry on its destruction.
                                     The fact that so much has already been destroyed is all the more reason to save what little is left.
                                      Where are all these environmental groups?  Where are all these marine advocacy/conservation organizations? Why is their silence regarding this destruction deafening? They know full well what is at stake.
