Especially in Hawaii and the Caribbean islands. The oxybenzone – the report says – alters the DNA of the corals, and it destroys the endocrine system, causing small corals to turn in on themselves and die. According to the study, between 6,000 and 14,000 tons of sunscreen ends up in the coral reefs, and most of these contain oxybenzone. The report was developed by a group of international scientists led by the organization “Haereticus Environmental Laboratory” in Virginia.
