No reefs, no parrotfish, no parrotfish, no sand

Recently I read that some 70 percent of sand is produced by parrotfish. Apparently they live by eating coral. One parrotfish apparently produces almost a ton of sand in its lifetime. No reefs, no parrotfish, no parrotfish, no sand.

We were recently notified we have passed the point of the ability of the Earth to replenish this natural resource. They are more than half gone. If we are going to get a handle on climate change, nothing is more important than universal birth control, the end of the religious teachings that sex must end in procreation, and last but hardly least we must stop forced birthing.
