MarkEOL urges Whyvillians to use their acquired knowledge to help safe reel reefs in Fiji.

The South Reef is being overfished and, as many of you have observed, this is having a devastating impact on the coral reef ecosystem. However, I've seen the Whyville community take action by designing over 50 Face parts, completing over 90 surveys, and donating over 1 million clams to Save the Reef! I am sure with a Reef Management Plan and our continued support to Save the Reef, we can have a healthy South Reef once again!

But what is the point of all of this? Why should we act to save a virtual reef? Well, all of your observations and actions are about to pay off. We need you to use your knowledge of coral reef biology and conservation to help save real coral reefs in Fiji! You can help by joining FijiReef (http://fijireef.ning.com), a community of marine biologists, scientists and teens in America and Fiji committed to conserving coral reefs in Fiji.
