Rough Seas Litter Caribbean Beaches With Coral
red Orbit: An Atlantic storm that kicked up huge waves reaching as high 30 feet has caused the beaches of Barbados to become littered with pieces of broken coral.
Some of the white coral had washed up in chunks as heavy as seven pounds, with their polyps rubbed away by the rough surf.
Scientists reported Sunday that the amount of coral rubble on the island’s coast may indicate damage to the region’s coral reefs.
