nobodysfriend Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 To protect coral reefs and the fish living there from the destruction caused by the nets of fishermen , nothing is better than to empty confiscated or old vessels of anything toxic , and to sink them there . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
