Nature is beautiful, that I know. But to experience the beauty of nature in aquatic life is mind blowing; a sight to behold. If pictorially it is this beautiful, how much more would it be when you get to see it physically? Fascinating!
Coral Triangle, Indonesia
Home to one of the most diverse collections of marine life in the world, the Coral Triangle extends from the waters of eastern Indonesia to Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, parts of Malaysia and the Solomon islands. More than 3,000 species of fish and 600 varieties of coral—a full 75 percent of those known to science—have been found there. But this ecosystem faces a growing threat from overfishing as well as destructive fishing, in which explosives or poisons are used to kill the fish, not only depleting the stock but also permanently destroying their habitat. Highly desirable species like grouper and Napoleon wrasse have already been fished to near extinction. Rising sea temperatures have also increased periods of coral bleaching, which kills the reefs. Please, whoever is responsible for this should stop it. I desire that these aquatic lives remain alive so that I can share in the priviledge of seeing them soon in one of my vacations.
