Located in the Persian Gulf, The Kingdom of Bahrain is an archipelago of 33 islands. The largest island is Bahrain, which translates as "two seas." Bahrain comprises 83 percent of the country's total land mass. The water surrounding Bahrain is shallow. Many land reclamation projects are underway. Coral reefs lie close to the island, many along the eastern and northern sides of the island. Over 300 species can be found in Bahrain's waters. Some types of tropical fish include angel fish, parrot fish, barracuda, grouper and clown fish. In the spring, sting rays can be seen sunning themselves on the sand banks.
Fishing is big sport in Bahrain as can be witnessed by the number of fishermen hanging out lines from the Sitra causeway. However, the best fishing is found out at sea, so most fishermen get out in their boats as often as they can. The shallow waters around the island teem with Spanish Mackerel but hamour is to be found out in the deeper holes in the reef areas. Most of the inner reefs have been fished out now so most fishermen go out 5-10kms and go trawling with rapellas or fish with live bait and sinkers for sharri, barracuda, kingfish and needlefish.
Camera Model: Canon EOS 5D Mark II; Lens: EF70-200mm f/4L IS USM; Focal length: 111.00 mm; Aperture: 5.6; Exposure time: 1/200 s; ISO: 100
