No tourists slathered with sunscreen with no regard to the look but don’t touch requests sure help. I remember a trip to Mexico many years ago and people picking sea fans, urchins and all kinds of living things for souvenirs. Maddening. Water is our element and most likely the birth of life on earth. These photos are beautiful and I wish all countries with under water treasures still viable would clamp down with restrictions to let some areas maybe regenerate.
