In Okinawa, which is the south islands of Japan, “Coral bleaching” has been increasing in due to global warming. That is a serious problem. More we take actions like Misool Eco Resort and Shark Savers this time, more we can solve marine issues! And it’s important for each person to know the fact and these actions. I feel have to do something for our ocean by reading your post!!

By the way, I never been to Indonesia, but my friend told me the sea is pretty nice there. Gotta wanna go some day after visiting misool eco-resort's web site

This is great news, amazing how tiny island nations show much bigger western countries how to do things properly in regards to vital shark conservation matters!
