This picture was just taken by Brian Skerry a few months ago when we returned to the Phoenix Islands and discovered that, because it is a protected area and has healthy fish populations that keep the algae grazed down and keep the rest of the reef healthy, the coral is booming, is just booming back.
See pilt oli Brian Skerry poolt tehtud paar kuud tagasi, kui me naasesime Phoenixi saartele ja avastasime, et kuna see on kaitstud ala ja seal on terved kalapopulatsioonid, mis hoiavad vetikad kontrolli alla ja hoiavad ülejäänud riffi tervena, on korall õitsev, tuleb ellu tagasi.
