Look at the picture link for a giant gargonian that was uprooted and thrown back. Knowing the slow growth of them, this one must be many years in the making, and just ripped up, and thrown back.

its very sad!!!! We need lists or something that we can all sign, might not make a difference, but 5 secs to to sign something in hopes of saving the oceans is worth it.
