Yeah, as you observe the calculus is very different down here but crucially we are also aware of that fact (and yet we still have the fucking clowns too 💀)
I would love to see more work on reefsafe stuff overall tho bc it is still SO hard to resolve and pretty important for the Pacific

While we are on the topic of the new-to-USA #reefsafe #sunscreen called #bemotrizinol, it is worth revisiting @whysharksmatter.bsky.social's Scuba Diving article on sunscreens and plastic straws. There's some nuance that escapes most ocean advocates...
