Man where I went we saw way more premium corals... I went and did island hoping in caramoans and I couldn’t believe the colors... I’ll try and post pictures tomorrow but I couldn’t believe real corals that are colorful where so plentyful...
We did see massive populations of crown of thorns devastating parts of the reef.
Having snorkeling all my life in Florida and visiting the Bahamas it’s hard to visualize real colorful reefs exist; my friends who have dived in Australia have showed me pictures that look equally disappointing!
Great pictures are the clams eaten down there? That's what has happened to the clams around Fiji
Dissapppointing… Definitely not. Different.. Yes!
Although not the most colourful reef with ´premium´ corals, The diversity on this (the pictures without the COT's) reef is very high. For fish, inverts and corals. More pictures will follow and support this!
Really interested to see your pictures!
Yes I agree but they have believe it or not gotten better. 20 years ago cyanide was getting the reefs really badly I think the waste problem is very bad due to population incresses and at least in the Philippines lack of money. Thanks so much for sharing Love that part of the world though
And the real problem see for the PI's coral reefs is crown of thorns.... IF I was part of their environmental team this would seem like wiping them out completely and offering locals money to capture them / maybe even eat them if possible... If something isn't done soon I think bleaching events are at the lowest of concerns.
That and the rampant pollution present in the PI, it was clear even the resort trying to rehab their reef had no clue how to even keep construction garbage out of their lagoons. Its pretty clear, culturally being responsible with trash (not saying America is any better) isn't the strongest over there.... but would love to see more thought going into smaller scale waste solutions for coastal villages at the very least.
