What is a Coral Calcium Cruise?

When I first heard of the query for "Coral Calcium Cruise," I thought, what in the heck could that possibly be for?

Well, I'm still not entirely sure...

There are some simple conclusions.

Coral Calcium is harvested from what used to be living coral reefs. These coral use calcium deposits for the structure of the reef.

Coral Calcium Supplements are actually made from non-living coral reefs.

So...perhaps the Coral Calcium Cruise is just a cruise to see the living coral reefs, or maybe it's actually for people looking to harvest their own coral calcium from a living reef? That would be scary, but I suppose that there are people who might be looking for such a thing. It's important to understand: look don't touch. Our coral reefs are in great danger. The warmer waters kill the coral and many once beautiful reefs are now bleached and dead.

So if you're looking for a coral calcium cruise, consider one of the many fine cruise lines out there. Choose one and select a cruise that takes you near one of the remaining great coral reefs. They are a beautiful sight and may not be around in the coming years.

Living coral reefs are being bleached by the mile. This may be happening due to global climate change factors or it might also be caused by an increase of toxic chemicals in the ocean.

Which brings up another thought...the coral reefs are constructed by living coral. The calcium and other minerals found in coral calcium are the result of the coral absorbing them from the ocean water and excreting them into the coral structure. What chemicals are being deposited into coral reefs and how are these chemicals affecting the health of these delicate organisms?
