| Fuzzy Sticks   | U.S. Considers Protection Plan for Deep-Sea Coral Reefs Story provided by reef dummy. Thanks! U.S. Considers Protection Plan for Deep-Sea Coral Reefs - Science News | Science & Technology | Technology News - FOXNews.com  Deep beneath the crystalline blue surface of the Atlantic Ocean off the southeastern U.S. lies a virtual rain forest of coral reefs so expansive the network is believed to be the world's largest. A 23,000-square-mile area stretching from North Carolina to Florida is just part of that entire reef tract now being proposed for protection from potential damage by deep-sea commercial fishing and energy exploration. So far, it's been relatively untouched by man because of its largely unreachable depths, providing scientists a unique opportunity to protect an ecosystem before it's destroyed. For the complete story please visit the above link.
