Will you stop using single-use plastic bags, bottles & straws to help our ocean?
Plastic trash is a serious problem for our ocean, and especially all the animals that call it home, but together we can be part of the solution.

The fangtooth, or ogrefish, has extra-long, sharp teeth and a face only a mother could love. This fierce-looking fish actually gets no bigger than the average adult human hand.⠀

Very rare to see such a small baby whale shark. This one has approx 17-20 inches. Spotted on the North of Ari Atol.
Accidentally caught while fishing by locals, who released this cute buddy back to a safe place. ♡
