These reefs are beautiful - but most of the coral is dead.

On 6 May 2014 Climate Desk reported:
Grand Cayman Island is a key haven of marine biodiversity, sporting 36 different coral species (corals are tiny animals that build rock-like reef structures) and 350 kinds of fish. Generally speaking, coral reefs are some of the most ecologically rich habitats on Earth, supporting 25 per cent of marine life in less than one percent of the ocean environment. They're a first line of defence for coastal communities against devastating storm surges. In Cayman, as in many small island nations, reefs are the backbone of the local tourism and subsistence fishing industries. And they're rapidly dying off. A study published last October found that on reefs around Little Cayman, a kind of suburb island adjacent to Grand Cayman, coral cover fell from 26 to 14 per cent just between 1999 and 2004. Since the early 1980s, coral cover across the entire Caribbean has plummeted 80 percent, so that living corals now cover only 10 per cent, on average, of available surface area. And a 2011 report from the World Resources Institute that labelled reefs around Grand Cayman as highly threatened found that what's happening there is a microcosm of a global trend: 90 per cent of the world's coral will be at risk of disappearance by 2030.
