Today is Fish Amnesty Day. On this special day, we come together to learn about taking care of our #underwater pals. This day strives to raise awareness of marine life, particularly #fish. Fish are creatures that require our attention and care just like any other. The declining fish population is a result of overfishing, oil spills, climate change, and numerous other factors. Whether in lakes, rivers or #oceans, fish make up a sizable portion of #marinelife. They maintain the food chain and keep the biosphere in balance. We are reminded of the significance of fish in nature on #FishAmnestyDay. Let’s pause for a moment to enjoy the beautiful underwater world that we all need to protect such as this #marinebiodiversity hotspot in #RajaAmpat. As you may be aware, Raja Ampat is a prime location for marine biodiversity within the larger #CoralTriangle. Its waters are highly diverse, with more than 1,500 different fish species, 700 different mollusk species, and an astounding 600 different hard coral species. Every dive into the ocean in locations like Raja Ampat, reveals amazing #coralreef life that is home to unique marine animals. This amazing picture serves as a reminder of the incredible richness and beauty that reside beneath the seas. And also a reminder that this is worth protecting so that we can always witness the beauty of the underwater world. Tempted to go into this #underwater haven? With our experienced crew and knowledgeable dive guides, you’ll have the chance to witness the unparalleled richness of this #marinelife treasure. Secure your spots now on our #liveaboarddivingtrip and dive into these unexplored regions with payment deposits beginning at a mere of $337 for our Raja Ampat North expedition this year. 🔗Click the link below! https://linktr.ee/lagaligo_liveaboard ✉️ info@LaGaligoLiveaboard.com 💬 +62 812 2000 2025 (WhatsApp) 🌐 https://www.lagaligoliveaboard.com/ 🌐 https://www.lagaligoliveaboard.com/trips/ (Schedule & Rates) ~~~~ #scubadiving #scuba #diving #diver #liveaboard #divetrips #marinebiodiversity

The yellow stingray (Urobatis jamaicensis) is a species of stingray in the family Urotrygonidae, found in the tropical western Atlantic Ocean from North Carolina to Trinidad. This bottom-dwelling species inhabits sandy, muddy, or seagrass bottoms in shallow inshore waters, commonly near coral reefs. Reaching no more than 36 cm (14 in) across, the yellow stingray has a round pectoral fin disc and a short tail with a well-developed caudal fin. It has a highly variable but distinctive dorsal color pattern consisting of either light-on-dark or dark-on-light reticulations forming spots and blotches, and can rapidly change the tonality of this coloration to improve its camouflage. Relatively sedentary during the day, the yellow stingray feeds on small invertebrates and bony fishes. When hunting it may undulate its disc to uncover buried prey, or lift the front of its disc to form a "cave" attractive to shelter-seeking organisms. This species is aplacental viviparous, meaning that the developing embryos are sustained initially by yolk and later by histotroph ("uterine milk"). Females bear two litters of up to seven young per year in seagrass, following a gestation period of 5–6 months. Though innocuous towards humans, the yellow stingray can inflict a painful injury with its venomous tail spine. This species is taken as bycatch by commercial fisheries and collected for the aquarium trade; it may also be negatively affected by habitat degradation. Nevertheless, it remains common and widespread, which has led the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) to list it under Least Concern.

Kungsö - an island near Vrångö in Gothenburg's southern archipelago. You can only get here by your own boat. A gem. Sandy beach with green water and walks on the cliffs. Lovely anchorage.
