Pretty stunned by just the diversity here. This
isn't an icidd dominated place at all, there is
just an amazing assortment of corals
here. Some of these are very old organisms,
possibly centuries to millenium- that makes
these ecosystems particularily vulnerable
so if you were to disturb them through
destructive fishing practices or things like
that it would take a very long time for these
to recover. Diverse communities are thought
to be a lot more resilient so if you have
any kind of impact, a diverse community is
thought to be much better equipped to
overcome such adverse impacts.
