What is Calamari Anyway?
“Most people don’t know what a squid looks like. Many have never seen a squid looking back at them. If more do, there will be a much smaller market for calamari."

Underwater Art: Beauty with a Mission
I love that MUSA was created to address the impact of tourism on coral reefs and promote marine conservation. It serves as an artificial reef, diverting over 850,000 divers and snorkelers each year from fragile natural areas while providing new habitats for marine life.

I recently spoke with Simon Walsh of Nature Island Dive about an aggressive disease attacking coral throughout the Caribbean: Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease (SCTLD). This disease destroys the soft tissue of at least 23 species of reef-building corals, killing them within weeks or months of becoming infected. Due to its rapid spread, high mortality rate, and lack of subsidence, it has been regarded as the deadliest coral disease ever recorded.
