Coral Damaging sunscreens ban in Thailand

Coral-damaging sunscreens have been banned across all Thailand’s marine national parks. The Thai Department of Conservation said four ingredients commonly found in sun creams were shown to destroy coral larvae, obstruct coral reproduction and cause reef bleaching. The move comes after concerns emerging from tourists that flock to the south east Asian country and use sunscreen that contains chemicals harming corals. Similar bans have been introduced by the Pacific island of Palau and the US state of Hawaii. Do you think that the world needs to adopt the same measure to preserve biodiversity ?
