Well I believe each region has it's own unique and beautiful species. It's up to each and everyone to protect and preserve these diversities. I am just lucky that I am here in what is believed to be the world's center of marine biodiversity but at the same time have the responsibility that it remains to be such. Pollution is a common problem here as well and just hope we can learn to control and lessen its impact :-)
Welcome Eric... Sadly to say we do not have better Bank for such spotting at Indian West Coast and non polluted waters near Mumbai.
Thanks Ashish! :-)
Efforts are caused to get this beautiful spotting of amazing underwater spotting. Great job Eric.
