‘Sea Women of Melanesia’ fight to protect 'Amazon' of Pacific | Pandemic Warriors |
With the world’s eyes on COVID, the Sea Women of Melanesia, an all-women dive team have been working to protect one of the world most important coral ecosystems.
The fledgling dive team has captured critical data about a significant coral-bleaching event in the ‘Amazon of the sea’ off the coast of Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands.
Now the divers want to harness their talents to find more ways to protect coral reefs.
