Hello friends of Steem Bangladesh today I want to tell you about my favorite natural habitat and that is the island of Boonaire. I am a fan of the sea, I snorkel and dive and undoubtedly one of the best places in the world to appreciate marine life and all its splendor is on the island of Bonaire and the deep blue sea, but not only that, but the whole island itself is a natural habitat where different species live in harmony and which in turn are preserved, defended and respected by locals and foreigners.

The climate in Bonaire is dry and mild, the sea temperature ranges from 28° to 25° all year round, making it the ideal habitat for a great variety of marine species. It has 86 dive sites and has been consolidated as the leading island in the care and preservation of nature since 1960 with the flamingo reserve areas and the turtle nesting area located in the Washington Slagba Park created in 1979.

The marine fauna is really impressive with more than 9 thousand of 56 coral species that are protected in the coral nurseries of the marine park and are available for preservation and recovery of the reefs. The recovery and protection of the reefs has made the sea of Bonaire the ideal place for the 350 species of fish that you can find ranging from the most striking and exuberant with bright colors to the most lethal as the lionfish and some of care as the swordfish and barracudas, you can also appreciate the friendly seahorses.
