While snorkeling in Lameshure Bay I could see dead coral on the ocean floor but nothing could compare to what we saw on our hike yesterday when we stopped at Reef Bay. When you looked down at the sand on the beach it was mostly coral. As I walked along the beach I could hear the crunching of the dead finger coral under my feet. When I looked up and down the beach I could barely see any sand just dead coral. Looking out to the ocean I saw giant pieces of dead coral that had washed up onto a sand bar. The pieces of coral were bigger than my head and some larger than my torso. Seeing this beach was really disturbing because here I could really see the extent and amount of coral that was dying and dead. I knew that the coral was dying but I didn't realize that it was this bad.
Other that this our hike was amazing. Long and hot but we saw some great views!
