VANUATU LEADING THE CHARGE FOR GLOBAL CLIMATE JUSTICE
The change is just astounding!! I have lived here since 1999. Just seems to have been one catastrophic event after the next! I remember well what it used to be like, as you have described!! There are so many factors involved - the earthquake on 17th December 2024 was the breaking point for us, but hey we cannot say it was climate change for that! Most people have no idea what is happening under the surface and are oblivious to the extent of harm being done! Whilst there are many climate change deniers out there - for us - it does not matter how it is labelled - the evidence is there! Thanks for sharing - yes our home has changed but we will bounce back! Feel free to visit any time. Lukim yu

Yes I too was surprised at the extent of the ruling -- I watched it live. But as you say - enforcement is another matter all together!!

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!

It was remiss of me not to mention in the forum how well our swap went, considering we are on opposite sides of the planet. All went swimmingly and the focus unit 1 is in use!

Hi all I have an as new EMWL focus unit No. 3 (part # 87203) with caps and bag, which is suitable for Sony Cameras, certain Canon and the Nikon D500 (with 60mm and plus 4 diopter). I wish to use the EMWL on my Nikon d850 which requires a focus unit No. 1 (part #87201) Anyone considering or having changed to Sony that may have the unit no. 1 they wish to swap? Best bet is someone in the south pacific region, I am based in Vanuatu. Cheers John
