Dynamite Fishing



When some people dynamite fish they use dynamite
to kill the fish. But when they do this they also
kill the coral reef too.
They are also killing fish too. For example such
fish like the butterfly fish, the clown fish, the
Farces fish and the Atlantic Blue tang will have
nothing to protect itself and will eventually die
out. If this keeps happening at a steady pace
more than 50 of the coral reef will vanish.
