Marine etiquette and the Caribbean

A friend of mine just forwarded me the following video.
It is educational in nature with stunning images of reefs in the Caribbean and informs all users to ensure they are mindful of their environment and take steps towards its conservation.

The introductory song gave me chills - and although some may find the narrative a tad cheesy I was impressed with the PSA for highlighting corals AS WELL as seagrass and mangroves and really enjoyed how many subjects it covered, including not stepping on corals, making sure to anchor in safe places, not discarding plastics, and not collecting any corals or shells. I also really liked the fact that the producers not only educated you on what to do or not to do but most importantly told you WHY... and ended the video by forcing you to commit to memory what not to do ;)
