Cyaniding the Reef

Abstract

Cyaniding the Reef shows how several divers of a fishing vessel apply cyanide to corals. These divers later return to collect dead fish and transport them to the awaiting vessel. It is not clear which country these men or the fishing vessel is from, except that it is clearly an unscrupulous method of fishing. Some fish are shown disoriented and later die from the effects of the cyanide.
