Trick or… fish? 👻🐟
Il pesce pietra è uno degli animali più mimetici e velenosi del mondo! Sembra una roccia, ma è un vero maestro del travestimento. Perfetto per Halloween, no?

Trick or… fish? 👻🐟
The stonefish is one of the most camouflaged and venomous creatures in the ocean! It looks like a rock but hides a powerful secret — the ultimate Halloween disguise.

Corals are tiny animals called polyps that build limestone skeletons and live in harmony with microscopic algae called zooxanthellae. These algae use sunlight to create oxygen and nutrients for the corals — a perfect underwater partnership!

💔 Why do corals bleach?
When water gets too warm, corals expel their algae, losing both color and energy. If the heat lasts too long, the corals can die.

But some corals fight back!
With the KORAI Association, we study the resilient corals of Sakatia — species that can better withstand climate change and protect the reef’s future.

Sea urchins are marine echinoderms that play an essential role in maintaining the balance of coral reef ecosystems. By mainly feeding on algae, they prevent excessive algal growth on reefs. This is crucial, as unchecked algal proliferation can smother corals, block sunlight, and slow their growth. Sea urchins therefore help preserve the space and conditions corals need to survive.
However, the impact of sea urchins on reefs depends on their density. In moderate numbers, they play a beneficial role by controlling algae. But overpopulation can lead to overgrazing, including scraping the reef’s limestone substrate, which may damage the coral structure and cause erosion.
Moreover, sea urchins are also food for many marine predators, integrating them into the reef’s food chain. Their presence influences biodiversity and population dynamics in this environment.
In short, sea urchins are the true “gardeners” of coral reefs: they regulate marine vegetation and promote coral growth but require balance to avoid negative impacts. Their role perfectly illustrates the complexity and interdependence of species in marine ecosystems.

I ventagli del mare. 🌊💜
Le gorgonie ondeggiano dolcemente con la corrente, creando uno spettacolo ipnotico di forme e colori. Queste meraviglie filtrano il plancton e offrono rifugio a tanti piccoli abitanti del reef.

The fans of the sea. 🌊💜
Gorgonians sway gracefully with the current, creating a mesmerizing dance of color and texture. These sea fans filter plankton and provide shelter to many tiny reef creatures.

La tua bottiglia, il nostro oceano. 💧🌊
Usare una borraccia riutilizzabile riduce rifiuti e plastica in mare. È un piccolo gesto che moltiplicato per migliaia di viaggiatori fa una differenza enorme.

🇬🇧
Your bottle, our ocean. 💧🌊
Using a refillable water bottle reduces waste and keeps plastic out of the sea. A small action, but multiplied by thousands of travelers, it makes a huge difference.

Meet Acropora nasuta, one of the beauties of the reef!

About this fascinating coral:
This coral forms somewhat disorganized colonies with long, thin branches stretching in every direction. Its small structures, called corallites, are tube-shaped in the center, while those on the sides are well-aligned like tiny rows, resembling a little nose in shape.
Colors: It can be cream or light brown, with bright blue branch tips (sometimes looking pink in photos). Sometimes it’s cream with small brown bumps, or brown-green with purple or blue highlights.

And the best news? It’s fairly common—easy to spot on your next dive 🐠

Our project, supported by the CEPF (Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund) and in partnership with KORAI, helps us better understand reefs in order to better restore them.

An unforgettable encounter. 🐋💙
This year we were lucky enough to witness a whale mom with her newborn calf, right next to one of our dive spots. They stayed the whole morning, and all boats nearby kept a respectful distance. Truly the highlight of the season!

Chi sbircia dalla tana? La murena! 🐍🐠
Con il loro modo curioso di affacciarsi dalle rocce, le murene sembrano guardarti dritte negli occhi. Hanno una bocca piena di denti, ma niente paura: sono più timide che aggressive!

🇬🇧
Who’s peeking out of the rocks? The moray eel! 🐍🐠
With their curious way of poking their heads from crevices, moray eels look like they’re staring right at you. Their mouths are full of teeth, but don’t worry — they’re shy rather than aggressive!
