“The trip leader Ron Leidich took this photograph of me providing scale to the some of the enormous table corals that we encountered at the Mergui Archipelago. This area was off-limits to foreigners until recently and has seen little activity beyond fishing. The many small islands provide shelter and myriad current and wave conditions – a terrific environment for a diversity of corals and fish. The many sheltered coves provide ideal conditions for large fragile coral heads to form, and our group was treated to a complete field classroom on coral diversity, growth, and competition.”
