Underwater image of bull shark getting close up in the blue ocean of Bimini, The Bahamas. Bullsharks (Carcharhinus leucas) are known for their aggressive behaviour and account for a number of attacks on humans. These large predators are able to live in both saltwater and freshwater, which enables them to migrate into river systems and estuaries.
Underwater image of Great Hammerhead shark in the blue ocean off Bimini, The Bahamas. Killing due to misconception of sharks as well as unsustainable fishing to obtain its fins has led to a dramatic collapse in shark populations worldwide. As a consequence the hammerheadshark as well as other species of sharks are now critically endangered.
Underwater splitshot image of mangrove forest. Mangroves are plants that can live in saltwater. These important plants not only create a refuge for a vast number of marine animals, birds and reptiles but also play an important role in countering coastal erosion. The dense network of roots and branches retain sediments and create a natural barrier protecting coastal communities against the more and more frequent floodings and hurricanes. Further, mangroves have the capacity to sequester up to 10 times more CO2 per area compared to other forest ecosystems. Therefore these habitats serve as a blue carbon sink. Unfortunately, destruction of these important habitats due to development currently happens on a large scale worldwide.
