Corals and friends
Last time I told you I was going to see a talk about coral conservation, this is my review of it:
How was the coral propagation presentation? It was very interesting and mind blowing learning about what we actually can do for our coral reefs. They guy who held the presentation knows so much about corals. He’s been traveling the world trying to teach people his way of planting corals. He has invented a natural glue which activates with salt water and keep the coral on the the rock until the coral has grown so much that it can survive by itself.
So Ocean Quest (the company) has teach people around the world to plant new corals without too much effort or money. The coral reefs that has been around for billions of years start to bleach, also dynamite fishing and trolling fishing destroys the reefs and the complex ecosystem. In the ocean and specially around reefs the organisms lives in symbiosis, which means that the organisms help each other to clean get food etc. If something gets sick or dies, it's very likely that the system collapses. If our corals die, the beautiful colors, life and incredible marine animals will just be a weak memory.
However I really appreciate people who try to do something about it.
Go in and check out ocean quest website or sea Shepherd to learn more about their work:

Some mornings while we're not diving we do some Yoga in the morning and then the most of us goes for breakfast together. It´s so nice to start your day with a Yoga session or on the other day an awesome dive.
Three friends from Sweden arrived today so I will show them around the island today on my day off!!
Until next time xx
