Quotes by Gene Shinn

“Ive been watching this for about 40 years. The years with high dust were the same years most of the coral were damaged.”

“After we looked around and noticed coral was dying all over the Caribbean, not just in Florida where we have sewage and other problems, I found some literature on the Amazon rain forest. In the late 80s and early 90s, scientists determined that the African dust supplies most of the essential nutrients for the rain forest.”

“We looked at the dust. That would explain how it could be all around the Caribbean, even in areas with no forests around.”

“All Im trying to do is make people aware because most dont even think of this. And it does affect peoples health, no doubt about it.”
