Hawksbill Turtle: Up Close and Personal
I named him Rocky, since he blended in so well with the surrounding rocks—I almost stepped on him as I was walking toward the water’s edge at Holoholokai Beach Park! 😭
I love #honu !!!#hawksbillturtle #bigisland #hawaii #beach #endangeredspecies

In #Cambodia, when you are a friend or relative of the king, marine conservation stands in the way of your wealth creation.
“The conversion of Ream National Park to a 39,634-hectare (97,937-acre) marine protected area has done little to prevent more than 8,000 hectares (19,800 acres) of the park and Koh Thmei being handed over to Cambodia’s political elite, including relatives of Prime Minister Hun Manet.
“Even in Kampot province, which sits next to Kep, development has posed a challenge to implementing an MFMA, with the boundaries repeatedly being redrawn due to ongoing land reclamation projects. Meanwhile, in Kep, the island of Koh Tonsay – the largest in the MFMA that MCC helped to establish – has been awarded to Try Pheap, a powerful tycoon who was sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury Department for his involvement in Cambodia’s illegal timber trade.”

Very much enjoyed making this one...
Angsana Ihuru in the North Male Atoll boasts one of the finest snorkelling house reefs to be found anywhere. Easily accessible from the beach, the 360 degree reef encircles the island and teems with marine life.
All footage was taken in a single snorkel around the island on a beautifully calm day. Keep your eyes peeled for surgeonfish, butterfly fish, parrotfish, regal angelfish, longfin bannerfish, reef sharks, eagle ray, giant clams, oriental sweetlips, lobster, starfish, hawksbill turtle, clown anemonefish, octopus, jackfish, barracuda, and titan triggerfish!
