Here is a paean of praise to the coral reef in all its glory - beautiful, diverse, deadly and endangered. There is not a lot of text, but it is well worth reading as it contains so much information about reefs and why they are special. Mainly, the author lets the photographs speak for themselves, for surely no amount of verbiage can put across the message that here is something worth saving for more reasons than the merely practical. Moray eels spar over a mate and form a heart shape, creatures form symbiotic relationships, queue up at cleaning stations, produce offspring and hunt and all in the most glorious Technicolor captured with the author’s camera. It’s up to date too, as here are photographs of a new shark discovered only in 2006 and there is plenty of data about new discoveries, statistics and facts about reef history, destruction and fortunately in some cases recovery. I can’t stop looking at it - see if it has the same effect on you!
