A voyage to UNDP-supported marine protected areas around the world.
In the turquoise seas of the western Indian Ocean, a coelacanth drifts slowly and deliberately through underwater caves hidden deep beneath the volcanic islands of the Comoros archipelago. These enigmatic prehistoric fishes — once thought to be extinct — have survived for over 70 million years in the warm, temperate waters off the coasts of Africa and Indonesia. What does the future hold for these animals? It depends on the measures we take to protect ocean ecosystems, the millions of species that live in them, and the people who depend on them.
