From thriving… to bleaching… to recovery 🌿🪸

These elkhorn coral transplants show just how resilient reefs can be when given a chance.

This is what hope looks like underwater.
But it’s also a reminder: reefs are under stress, and recovery isn’t guaranteed.

Every action we take above water matters below it.

🌊 Protect what protects us.

🦈✨ Shark & Ray Awareness Day ✨🌊

In Anguilla, our coastal waters are home to species like Caribbean reef sharks, nurse sharks, southern stingrays, and spotted eagle rays — all critical to a healthy marine ecosystem.

Sharks, as apex or near-apex predators, regulate prey populations and help maintain the balance of coral reefs and seagrass beds. Rays, while mesopredators, also play a key role — stirring up sediment, feeding on invertebrates, and contributing to the biodiversity of our benthic ecosystems.

They’re not here to threaten us — they’re indicators of a thriving ocean.
Their presence means our waters are still alive.

By understanding and respecting these animals, we can better protect the reef, the fish we depend on, and the future of Anguilla’s marine life.
