This photo was shot using my Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS2. It had been faithful to me in the past and up until this very photo, then it decided it did not like me anymore and died. My trusty Canon FTb also died about 3 weeks ago. Seems like I am on a killing spree. Kill anything...just not my 5D MII :P
Anyways enough about the death of my cameras. This photo was taken in Barbados. My cousin took my brother and I out for some snorkelling and diving on the west coast of the island. It was an amazing day. We saw many turtles, fish, corals and wrecks. But the signs of pollution and coral degradation were very visible. Like else where in the Caribbean, bleached corals and decreased fish populations have been a huge problem, environmentally and economically, as many of the islands rely on its pristine beaches and corals to attract tourist. The catch 22 is that tourism is part of the problem.

Fin-five from this loggerhead sea turtle in Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary! Loggerheads get their name from their relatively large heads, which support powerful jaws and enable them to feed on hard-shelled prey. From hatching to adulthood, a loggerhead increases its weight more than 6,000 times! Marine debris, fishing gear, and development near their nesting areas remain major issues for loggerheads, but by working together we can help reduce these threats.
