No reefs, no fish, no sharks, no divers...end of story

Wow, that's awful! I just read yet another article talking about the devastating effects of fertilizer runoff on marine life... that it creates a bloom of phytoplankton and bacteria that wind up sucking all the oxygen out of the water and creates "dead zones" of no marine life - usually a seasonal thing, but getting larger, more common, and lasting longer. The fish that can swim fast enough can get away, but slow moving things like starfish and the like are sitting ducks.
I don't get the whole golfing phenomenon, anyhoo...
I'd be happy to have an excuse to go back... and I'd recommend Stuart Cove's anytime - I picked up a magazine at the airport on the way home that said they were among the best - so I know it's not just us
