Making Waves (2009)
“In the middle of the deck was a large tank filled with what EJ instantly recognised as live black coral. Brilliantly coloured coral but with a jet-black skeleton.
‘Isn’t it beautiful?’ asked Adriana. ‘So fine, so fragile, so valuable.’ ‘It’s more beautiful in the sea,’ said EJ.
‘Well, maybe, but it’s no good there. You can’t use it to make beautiful jewellery,’ replied Adriana, stroking the large black pendant that hung around her neck. ‘And my coral is perfect for jewellery. The tests ...of my first harvest show it to be of the highest quality. You have no idea how much money SHADOW and I can make from selling my coral.’ ‘Except it’s not your coral.’ ‘It is now,’ said Adriana, smiling smugly.
‘But you can’t just take it,’ cried EJ. ‘And your harvesting collects the rest of the reef as well.’ ‘But I just did take it,’ said Adriana. ‘And anyway, I throw back all other stuff.’ ‘But it’s too late then, it’s destroyed.’ ‘Oh I suppose that’s a pity,’ sighed Adriana.MoreLess
