[Coral-List] Sticky issue

[EWeil]

I want to apologize for a typo I made in my last communication, the second parragraph should read "On the other hand, it seems
that the people who need the most education are those living in the developed countries, who most of the time drive/push the undeveloped countries to destroy their natural resources to satisfy their ever-increasing appetite for unnecessary things."

Saludos!

EW

The people who live in these underpopulated areas are still trying to earn
a 
living...often by fishing their own reefs and selling to those who have 
depleted their own fisheries and willing to pay the price.

Yes, over-population is at the base of many world problems but it is a
sticky 
issue, at once cultural, ethnic and religious.  Not exactly one to be solved

by reef scientists.  Perhaps women's education in general and in
reproductive 
rights are the answers?  Women want better lives for their children, after 
they've been fed, saved from curable infectious diseases, and
educated....and who 
is to determine what that better life is?  Is it what they perceive as the 
lives that other children in the world have, including yours?
