Anchor damage - sickening

Oh, one more observation and I'll shut up (or at least get off the soap box for a while).

Today I found a coral mound that had recently been broken off and turned over - I could barely right it because of its size. The soft coral was still a bit orange, so maybe they will live, but it's only a matter of time, right?

There are dozens and dozens of these mounds that have been overturned. None could have been done by divers. Isn't there any law about anchoring ON a coral reef?

I gotta stop stressing over this... it's difficult not to think about kicking out to have a talk with a boater I see right now who is probably anchored to the reef.
