Lone parrot fish swimming over a field of coral rubble. Once magnificent inshore reefs have died throughout the Caribbean.
Seeing the loss of coral reefs from our first trip to Bonaire, we have supported coral nurseries to replant reefs.
Fees paid by tourists now help support restoration of reefs that divers and windsurfers depend on.
Bonaire still has abundant coral in water deeper than 30 feet on a reef easily reached by diving from shore.
Bonaire's advanced wastewater treatment plant paid for by the Dutch Government helps reduce both human and coral disease. The water is recycle for irrigation.

Awesome pics, Barrett. Water looked crowded at times. Was that just a trick of the lens? Great pic of Maxime except that guy in the yellow hat photobombed it... oh wait, he looks familiar.
Thanks for posting.
