4 Quotes by Gene Shinn

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

I've 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.

All I'm trying to do is make people aware because most don't even think of this. And it does affect people's health, no doubt about it.
