“Reef ball burials: the new trend for becoming ‘coral’ when you die…
Most of the world’s reefs are at risk—from ocean warming and acidification,
pollution and overfishing…”
The Guardian

Full fathom five please let me lie:
Of my bones be corals built;
Then, I take it, when I die,
I’ll lose this never-ending guilt.
