Caption from 2024 WHOI Wall Calendar, April:
Corals and small fish at a reef near Apo Island, Dauin, Philippines. This area in the western Pacific Ocean is known as the Coral Triangle. Diverse corals and marine life here support more than 120 million people with food, work, and storm protection. MIT-WHOI Joint Program student Ciara Willis dove here after presenting her findings on tuna management strategies to the World Wildlife Fund Sustainable Tuna Partnership in Manila. Apo Island was established as a Marine Sanctuary in 1982 to protect local fish stocks and is now ranked in the top 100 dive sites in the world.
