The argument about turtles and natural disasters causing damage to reefs and humans being another part of nature is really rather irrelevant. If mother nature wanted humans to be on the reefs then she would have given us gills or some other way of surviving underwater. Humans are not meant to be underwater, we are visitors and as such we must respect our host.
Mother Nature gave us the intelligence to make masks, snorkels, scuba gear and we are the top predator on the planet. I think we have as much right as any fish to be on the reef. We most likely came from there anyway.
