Coral Reef Beach Resort

I have always admired the wonders of the sea; beautiful marine creatures that are impressive to watch. But a tourist boat trip on a glass bottom a few months ago made me promise to come back harder, and I did not find time until now. I wanted to see the coral bed in the cool waters of the Indian Ocean coast again.

Coral reef ecosystems are among the most diverse and productive, and beautiful Earth, and become exciting places for tourists who admire the life and water sports. It is now not uncommon to see tourists in glass bottom boats ferried to coral gardens for viewing.

coral gardens were also popular spots for water sports especially diving tourism. I joined this custom safari with a group of friends on this beautiful morning in May that combines a variety of marine and terrestrial research, and community development projects in the tropical environment of East Africa.

Safari has also been a learning experience that examined how local communities affect and utilize the natural resources of the region and aims to help these communities to benefit from their resources sustainably. As such, it focuses on fun, as well as three main components, marine life, research and the impact of development on it.

Famous for its vast stretches of casuarina fringed beaches of white sand, the beach resort of Malindi, a city untouched in Kenya, is easily accessible by road and air, and has a great beauty and diversity of marine life.

Coral reefs are home to over 140 species of hard corals and soft. The reef plays a diverse role. As bastions of biodiversity, they are breeding grounds for fish and other marine animals, an essential barrier against the force of the sea, protecting marine organisms and leisure travel, they keep the dangerous sharks common to the deeper waters , and their color and exotic coral fish they support a major attraction for tourists.

Gambi, our guide, told us that the Malindi Marine Reserve in Kenya was first being opened in 1967 and has been designated World Biosphere Reserve since 1979. The fringing coral reefs harbor the Kenyan coast has an abundance of colorful marine life.

"Please do not damage or remove coral. It is a living organism that takes many years to form and is host to rare and endangered species," reminded us that Gambi we took the glass bottom boat.

coral reef eco-tourism is a success in many developing countries such as Indonesia and the Philippines, but it is just picking up in East Africa and only a handful of operators carrying shipments of coral reefs and safaris.

On this occasion, we did not want a safari diving we had done previously, just enough time there to unravel the mysteries of coral reefs in the comfort of our glass bottom boat. The weather was beautiful, we prove an appointment with generosity.

During the brief conference sea under the sun to penetrate Africa, Gambi told us that there were more than 200 types of coral and 1,500 species of fish in the East Africa Marine Eco-region, which extends about 4600 km of coastline in southern Somalia, Kenya, Tanzania and Mozambique.
