In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Running your boat into a coral reef can cause it serious damage. Protecting coral reefs depends on what experts call proper "vessel management." Understand where coral reefs are so your boat doesn't strike them, even incidentally. People can also damage coral reefs simply by touching them.  Corals on reefs are actually small animals. This living ecosystem is thus very fragile and susceptible to damage.  The coral animals are not mobile. They live in colonies, and possess skeletons of hard calcium carbonate, which is what gives the coral reef its structure. Remember the feet. Control your flippers when diving or snorkeling so you don't accidentally touch a coral reef. Contact with things like anchors and fishing nets is a key way that coral reefs die or suffer damage.   Anchor your boat on a coral reef. Instead, anchor your boat in an area with a sandy bottom or use a mooring. You could also use an installed buoy instead of an anchor.   Fishing lines, nets, and fishing hooks all cause damage to coral reefs. This is just another reason why it's best to take your fishing elsewhere. Figure out where coral reefs are located before you venture into the ocean. Discharge wastewater from your boat into the ocean. Find an acceptable wastewater discharge facility in the area instead. Leaving behind things like fishing nets or general garbage on a beach can harm coral reefs. Throwing litter into the ocean itself can eventually cause the trash to come into contact with the coral reef.  When trash ends up on a coral reef, it can actually smother the corals. Remember, they are living organisms. Sometimes people see corals as they see shells. However, corals are alive and, thus, they are very susceptible to harm.  Littering can also cause harm or even kill the fish that populate coral reefs. The technical term for this kind of litter is "marine debris." Marine debris also damages other organisms on coral reefs that are necessary for their survival. Some organizations sponsor beach cleanups. If you help pick up other people's litter on beaches, in addition to not littering yourself, you will help coral reefs. Many people enjoy snorkeling near coral reefs because of their unique beauty. Snorkelers and divers can cause serious damage to coral reefs, especially in areas with heavy tourism.  Pull a piece of coral reef off to take with you. They say you should leave only bubbles and take only pictures when you are in the ocean. Remember that you are destroying a living organism if you do take a piece of the reef. Practice snorkeling before you venture anywhere near a coral reef, so you don't come into accidental contact with it.  Stay horizontal in the water and avoid kicking sand or flailing around with your fins. Don't swim too fast or use your arms when swimming.   If you touch a coral reef, it can cause you harm, too. People have been cut and stung by coral reefs.   Get close to a coral reef while wearing a lot of sunscreen. The oils from the lotion causes coral reefs damage. You shouldn't take anything out of the ocean that's alive, or buy it in a store, either. In some countries, you will find jewelry and other souvenirs made out of coral. Don't buy them.   It is illegal to sell coral in some countries. Coral can take a long time to grow, so taking it for your aquarium or jewelry box can have a lasting effect that will take years to undo.   Red and pink coral is especially prized as jewelry because of its coloring. It comes from deeper waters. Purchase coral reef fish, either. Inquire about marine fish before you buy them in pet stores. You want fish that were bred in captivity. Hotels can make a big impact on the environment. They are often close to shores, and a lot of people pass through them. Support hotels with policies designed to reduce pollution.  Hotels that have programs to treat sewage and offer recycling and other sustainability measures can help protect coral reefs by improving the overall environment around them.   Tourism associated with coral reefs is one of the fastest growing segments of the tourism industry, so it could make a big difference if more hotels are pressured by consumers to adopt sustainable practices.
Summary: Avoid striking or touching a coral reef. Fish or boat near a coral reef. Litter on the beach or in the ocean. Snorkel and scuba dive with care. Don't purchase coral souvenirs. Choose a hotel that embraces environmentalism.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Prior to discontinuing medication, write down your reasons to go off antidepressant medication. You may feel like you’ve emotionally flat-lined, miss having a normal libido, want to treat depression without medication, or use natural remedies instead of medications. Whatever your reasons are, write them down and refer to the list whenever your withdrawal symptoms are difficult. Think of this list as your motivation to keep going, even when faced with unpleasant withdrawal symptoms. Throughout your discontinuation process, it’s advised to keep a record of your symptoms and how they progress, decrease, or change. Share this journal with your physician and/or therapist to monitor withdrawal symptoms. You can also use this journal to help you predict any symptoms as you continue to decrease your dosage, like if you typically get a headache three days after lowering your dose. Typically, symptoms of discontinuation go away within a matter of a few weeks. However, if your symptoms last longer or are very severe, contact your prescriber and discuss treatment options. You may need to adjust the dosage or slow down your tapering schedule. Some people experience withdrawal symptoms more severely than others. If your symptoms feel unbearable, ask your physician about recommendations to treat these symptoms. Some prescribers will recommend medications to help with insomnia or nausea to help with discontinuation symptoms. You can find natural remedies and over-the-counter medicines. For difficulties with sleep, try melatonin. For nausea, try adding some ginger to your foods or to tea. While you may experience symptoms of withdrawal, this does not indicate an addiction to your antidepressant medication. An addiction occurs when you crave certain substances and need an increasing amount of the substance to attain a certain feeling or response. Your body is adjusting to the different levels of medication in your body. If you’re feeling discomfort, focus on your breathing. If you feel intense emotions or intense physical sensations, deep breathing can help work through this intensity. Deep breathing can help ease tension in your body and in your mind. When intensity feels overwhelming, stop what you are doing and put all of your attention on your breath. You may choose to close your eyes. Lengthen each breath, both the inhales and the exhales. Notice any changes in how you relate to your discomfort, if you momentarily forgot about it, or how you feel afterward. If you feel uncomfortable or in pain, practice engaging in mindfulness. If part of your body is in pain, focus on a part of your body that is not experiencing pain. Relax into the sensation of not being in pain or in discomfort, and focus on this one area of your body over the area that is uncomfortable. Try closing your eyes and imagining going to a favorite place. This can be a beach, a mountain top, or a sporting field. Imagine being in this place and focus your attention on creating this imagery and not on your discomfort. Manage everyday stress without letting it build up over time. Set aside time each day to engage in a relaxing environment. You may want to go for a walk, meditate, read, or listen to music. Make time for this activity every day as a way to manage daily stress. This is your opportunity to take a break from your responsibilities and focus on self-care.
Summary:
Write down why you chose to discontinue. Keep a journal. Note discontinuation symptom duration. Ask your physician about treating withdrawal symptoms. Realize that you are not addicted. Breathe deeply. Practice mindful exercise. Manage overall stress.
