Comments and Feedback
Please add more pictures- will send separately. Sabang Bay has just been declared government protected area - so data should go faster to policy development.
We saw amongst others a large green turtle, a flathead, a green frogfish, lots of sea stars, flounders, juvenile crocodile fish, baby scorpionfish, batfishes, lots of reef fishes...
