Lonely island Research in the Mergui Archipelago - Boulder Island Survey #1

Researching Lonely islands with Marine Biologist, Wildlife Biologist, Geographer and a camera team. Science work took us 2 weeks to start with and was well documented along the way, here the overview of our findings! Our survey of Boulder Island was a HUGE success! With 2 weeks of surveys, underwater and all across the islands, we learned of both the marine and terrestrial life on Boulder. Hopefully this data will be crucial to declaring a NO-take Marine zone around this island! Keep checking back for our final report, data, species lists, maps and the next two episodes in the mini-series! (Hint...Next one is: Boulder Island: Terrestrial Life!!!) Help us continue our crucial biodiversity surveys of the Mergui Archipelago with a donation or become a Patreon! www.patreon.com/projectmanaia www.projectmanaia.at With several hundred nautical miles behind us we visited a whole series of Islands that are part of the majestic Mergui Archipelago in Myanmar. One of the last pristine island groups in the world, yet untouched and not overrun by tourism and industries. which would be the one big key to making sure this part of the world stays as it is - even in the future generations to come More than 150 species could be identified, many of the endangered around the world. Adding even more of a reason to the key of why we are here: Protecting the Mergui Archipelago and declaring the whole area as one Big Marine Protected Area or No Take Zone. This would mean no more fishing, no access for Tourism or other industries and make sure, that coral reefs will stay as pristine as they are now with recovering fish stocks all around them. At the moment still a dream, but with continuous hard work and your support it can become a reality!
