Indonesia is situated inside of the Coral Triangle, a region that holds the highest diversity of marine life in the world. The corals therefore possess an array of vibrant colours and unique formations.
These photos are from the island of Nusa Penida close to Bali. The health of the corals on this particular reef were really good, and you can see this just by the sheer lack of vacant space on the reef.
Sadly, these beautiful ecosystems are under enormous pressure at present due to overfishing, climate change, destructive fishing techniques and pollution from coastal development.
Lets hope that humanity can work together to make the necessary changes needed to reduce the stressors that these fragile ecosystems face.
