Firemon, I'm so glad you brought this up. I hadn't realized this, the problem w/ people's sunscreens harming sealife & the coral reefs, until we went to Akumal, Mexico. There, we visited Yal-Ku Lagoon, where they actually have you show them your sunscreen bottles or tubes, inspect it & tell you if you can use it there or not, due to this problem. Sure enough, we would've put on something that would've harmed the reef & sealife there! So we bought the Maya Solar biodegradable SPF 45 sunblock that they sold at a reasonable rate there. It worked great! However, it is pretty runny, so you have to be ready to really rub it in after squeezing it out of the tube. Here is a general webpage that addresses this & following are some more possibilities for folks to consider buying:
