A recent report suggests that sunshades could be the last resort to save the endangered Great Barrier Reef.

It is said that scientists are now considering covering and shielding the Reef's coral from harsh UV rays. This last ditch to protect the endangered Reef calls for swathes of cloth that would be anchored with ropes to float on the surface to shield coral from sunlight, thus preventing them from bleaching.

The report cites Nature Climate Change's findings that global warming has led to rising temperatures up to 2ºC. The report suggests that global warming is also to blame for the 60% increase in surface ocean acidity in the last three centuries.

The moral of the story is that sunshades play an important role in not only protecting people, but also the environment. Sunshade products come in a variety of styles, types and configuration. Patton's Awnings, for instance, provides:
  • custom made shade sails
  • waterproof sails
  • awnings
  • boat covers
  • theatrical supplies and ground cloths
  • blinds
  • upholstery
  • custom covers
