It is so so sad what is happening to the people over there... and call me insensative but I think a whole reef being exposed and dying like that is almost worst. It will have more ill long term affects on the local people, fisherman, and ecosystem in that area.
I had no idea that the earthquake and tsunami had such wide spread effects as this until you posted it. Kind of hard to think about a place so far away while we're going about our busy day
