At first glance you might think I'm in a swimming pool, but nope this is the ocean. Do you know why this water looks so inviting? It's because I'm standing in a national marine park, called Exuma Cays, which consists of 176 square miles of protected sanctuary that serves as an ecological refuse to numerous plant, coral and animal species (a no-take zone) IT'S TRULY MAGNIFICENT.
Sadly, only 2% of our oceans are highly protected š” The speed at which the high seas have been depleted of some of their most spectacular & iconic wildlife has taken the world by surprise. Scientists estimate at least 30% of the ocean needs to be protected immediately. We have to ensure biodiversity in our life support system, the ocean.
When the ocean dies, we die.
