Documenting Life in the Endangered Coral Triangle - David Doubilet

A lifetime of being a professional diver and photographer in the world's oceans has left David Doubilet with a unique understanding of their reefs and animals that depend on these reefs. This in-depth understanding also has Doubilet worried. Ocean acidification and coral bleaching endanger the South Pacific's "Coral Triangle," surrounding the island nations of Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia. Doubilet explains that if the coral dies, the "city of great complexity beneath the sea," full of everything from bacteria to sharks and whales will go with it.
