VANUATU LEADING THE CHARGE FOR GLOBAL CLIMATE JUSTICE

Anyone that knows us will understand how passionate we are about our little patch of reef. For years now we have been sharing our discoveries and at the same time documenting the change in the reef environment.

On Sunday we were very pleased to host Associated Press Journalist Annika Hammerschlag on some guided dives to show first hand the impact of climate related change and other factors, not the least of which being crown of thorns and earthquakes!

Her article has just been published in anticipation of the release of an advisory opinion tomorrow, by the International Court of Justice, on what legal obligations nations have to address climate change.

Whether you are a climate change believer or not — the evidence is there – our oceans are suffering, we have witnessed it personally, we live it and we cry tears of despair at times – BUT we have hope. It has been our mission to create awareness of the wonders we have on our doorsteps!

We may have our minute of fame, but for us this is a lifelong commitment, this is what drives our passion —- how can we get to the end of a generation and leave nothing for our kids and grand-kids to discover — we simply cannot and whilst we can we will be out documenting it first hand!

The video and photos shared in the article except one on the screen are not ours. The jouransiot used her own camera.

Thought I would share — This is where our photography is powerful!
