CREATING AWARENESS ABOUT THE OCEAN

 ‘Everybody can make a difference wherever you live'

Life Below Water

Life Below Water is dedicated to making the underwater world more visible for everyone, while creating awareness about the vulnerability and significance of this ecosystem.

We want to highlight how the ocean is affected in different areas, including its impact on the magnificent 'Giants of the Sea.' This is especially relevant when it comes to issues like (plastic) pollution and other dangers.


Our efforts involve presenting facts and figures grounded in available research and data. We produce documentaries to further increase awareness about our actions and the delicate balance within the ecosystem known as ‘The Ocean’."

We are looking for volunteers in the area of 'gastdocent' and 'organisatietalent.'


When predators fall
It affects us all!


Small impression about the encounters of several reef sharks and other marine life around Fiji reefs.

Hammerhead sharks

 

A hammerhead shark uses its wide head to trap stingrays by pinning them to the seafloor. They are unaffected by stingray barbs!The eye placement, on each end of its very wide head, allows it to scan more area more quickly than other sharks. The hammerhead also has special sensors across its head that helps it scan for food in the ocean.

Napoleon wrasse

 

Every now and then when you are lucky you will encounter a Napoleon wrasse.
Due to their late sexual maturity and sex-changing nature, Napoleon wrasse are vulnerable to overfishing.

Napoleon wrasses provide a vital service to coral reefs by eating the crown-of-thorns starfish. These starfish eat coral and damage the reef. Having the Napoleon wrasse around means protection for the coral reefs.
