Two whale tales. In case you want some good vibrations. In 2017, marine biologist Nan Hauser was in the Cook Islands working on a documentary about humpback whales. She slid off the boat with her go pro camera on and swam towards some whales they observed.

I won the jackpot: a rare Dugong (sea cow). They look a bit like Manatees but aren’t related. They are far relatives of Elephants and they are HUGE!

Thailand closed Maya Bay to restore coral reefs damaged by tourism. After years without human activity, the ecosystem shows signs of recovery, with improving reef conditions and the gradual return of marine biodiversity.
