A wall dive, Pirate's Point was dominated by gorgonians, black coral and large barrel sponges, giving divers a good taste of the deeper reefs.

The story of the Swan Islands boils down to one subject. Protection. The expedition came to the islands with high expectations. The Swan Islands are referred to as the “Galapagos of the Caribbean”, and it was that description the team carried with them in the long crossing. But the reality of the Swan Islands is that even here on this isolated island, Sadiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07532416942631133136noreply@blogger.com0Carretera Ms Vecinal, Corozal, Honduras16.341225619207496 -86.5063476562516.341225619207496 -86.50634765625 16.341225619207496 -86.50634765625tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2818409585774247036.post-52450429761745333552011-07-21T22:25:00.000-07:002011-08-08T09:22:49.383-07:00Shark Research at Swan Island 05
“I remember when there were so many sharks in the bay, we couldn’t put a hook in the water without catching a shark” recounted a patriarch fisher from the island of Utila in the Bay Islands in Honduras. This recollection of shark abundance is heard time and again with most Western Caribbean fishers over 50 years old. Today, it’s a different story.

A sense of hope grew from the knowledge that the previous afternoon's dives showed improved reef health. The goal for today's dives was to find more sections of the surrounding reef that would showcase the healthy examples of corals that the expedition had expected to see in this remote location.
