Product Description
80% of the topical aquarium fish sold in the world are captured off the coast of Palawan, the largest Island of the Philippine Achipelago. These vivid creations decorate the waters of Palawan like jewels. The hunters who treasure them, however are often brutal. Dive with the Cousteau crew as they study these beautiful creatures and the methods of the people who capture them for export. Palawan's treasures are protected byt he United Nations bioshere reserve. Still, along this coastline, which is virtually impossible to police, poachers capture fish by the thousands. Beyond the reach of both harm and nets, the seclusion of undersea caves serves as a refuge-a home for lobsters, stingrays and schools of darting fish. These caves, carved from the onlslaught of waves, are explored for the first time here on film. Nature's corrosive power has also left its mark on Palawan. Forged in volcanic fire, the craggy coasts are vulnerable to the abrasive and chemical forces of the weather and the ocean. Join Cousteau as he walks this coastline and dives the exotic seas of Palawan, the world's natural-and endangered-aquarium.
