Many of the reef fish Gregory Stone and his team photographed may never have seen a diver before, let alone a camera.

Most of the world’s oceans are in serious decline. But the corals and marine life in the waters around The Phoenix Islands are thriving. How this previously little-known, remote wilderness in the Pacific became one of the highest profile international conservation priorities.

This is fascinating. Impressive to see a small nation leading the way that will impact so much of the ocean and those resources. I am concerned that MPA's are only as good as how well they are enforced. It seems like an international issue to enforce all MPA's.

The flora and fauna in this area are fascinating, but now I'm curious about this "ocean nation," the Republic of Kiribati. Among the risks of listening to the DR show are realizing how much you don't know, how much more you want to know, and challenging what you think you already know. :-)
I'm so excited that you used my photo to promote the show!! Thanks!!!
It is out duty to save the marine and coral lives of our ocean as they are one of our natural contents.
