	Fish farms, not divers, to blame for Eilat coral damage - DIVERNET News for Divers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Researchers are blaming the deterioration of the once-pristine coral reefs around the Red Sea resort of Eilat on intense fish farming, and not, as previously thought, on pollution or divers.
		Professor Yossi Loya* has been studying the coral reef at Eilat for the past three decades, and believes that the reef is likely to be completely wiped out unless measures are taken to stop nitrates, excreted by over 5 million farmed fish, killing the coral.
		"The key point is that the Gulf of Eilat is an oligotrophic sea, a sea that does not have nitrogen at all," Professor Loya explained.
