[Coral-List] Hawaii bans sunscreens deemed harmful to coral reefs

[Liz Wood]

Dear listers,

To add to the on-going debate about sunscreens I would like to draw your 
attention to a briefing on this issue posted on the International Coral Reef 
Initiative website in February 2018, prior to the implementation of the ban 
in Hawaii.

Best regards,

Liz Wood

No, your sunscreen isn't killing the world's coral reefs.
