The pressure creates strong currents brimming with nutrients eagerly anticipated by the marine life, in particular the soft corals, which expand to their most enchanting at feeding time. "The best time to dive it is at low slack tide, when there is no current and the wall has been fed with nutrients for seven hours," says Jon Piepkorn, an instructor at Taveuni Dive. "It's the reason they call this place the soft-coral capital of the world." ]]> 2018-02-15 20:24:27 UTC https://padlet.com/br178674/4xwv6mvqyj09/wish/232138428 br178674 https://padlet.com/br178674/4xwv6mvqyj09/wish/232144692 Humans are currently using the Rainbow Reef for tourism.

Work began on the gazetting of the Rainbow Reef in April, that is surveying and cataloguing information pertaining to the health of the reef. The area is known as the ‘soft coral capital of the world’ and as we know, it is gravely under threat from climate change and the environmental changes in the waters that come with that.]]> 2018-02-16 20:29:01 UTC https://padlet.com/br178674/4xwv6mvqyj09/wish/232507160 br178674 https://padlet.com/br178674/4xwv6mvqyj09/wish/232787091 https://island-spirit.org/general-responsible-travel-news/rainbow-reef-protection/
