More than half of the tropical coral reefs in the world where governments collect data on fishing levels are being degraded beyond repair, according to a global survey of reef fisheries. The findings suggest that it would take an additional area of tropical coral four times the size of the Great Barrier Reef - the biggest reef system in the worl
