*[Enwl-eng] Coral reefs in Puerto Rico are dying!

[ENWL]

The reefs off the shore of Puerto Rico provide protection for the shores 
beyond.






            The EPA must take emergency action to save Puerto Rico's coral 
reefs, for the sake of human and marine life!

                 Vladimir,

                  The COVID-19 pandemic is not the first time that the U.S. 
government has shown an utter lack of planning, regard for science, or 
compassion for its citizens. In 2017, Hurricane Maria ravaged the U.S. 
territory of Puerto Rico, leaving thousands of U.S. citizens dead and many 
more without access to clean water, electricity, or safe housing. Disaster 
relief was slow and inadequate, headed by a president who thought it was 
okay to throw a few rolls of paper towels into crowds of desperate people 
and call it a day. But now, almost three years later, with extreme weather 
events a certainty due to climate change, Puerto Rico is far from in the 
clear.

                  A crucial step in preventing further devastation in Puerto 
Rico is to preserve and protect its coral reefs, which provide vital 
protections for the shores beyond them. Not to mention these reefs are some 
of the most diverse ecosystems in the world, and keep thousands of species 
of marine creatures alive. Failure to take action to protect Puerto Rico's 
coral reefs now will mean unprecedented damage when inevitable future 
hurricane disasters occur. Losing these reefs will result in a massive loss 
of animal, plant, and human life, too. Please sign the petition to demand 
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency take action to protect these 
critical coral reefs!

                  Thank you,

                         Lauren W.
