Anonymous asked: Thank you for answering my question! This was near Moalboal though I did assist in a 'clean up' along the Alcoy coast a few years ago. I have another question: who is the best organization to report illegal fishing (specifically dynamite & cyanide fishing) to in the Philippines? There are increasing reports of this happening in the reefs around Mactan island but no one seems to know...

captain-galaga asked: I just want to say that you're a huge inspiration. I've wanted to be a marine biologist since I was little, but sort of gave that dream up because I'd "never make any money" and "it's not a real job." But now that I'm in college and am following your blog, I think I'm gaining the confidence to pursue what makes me happy. Thank you!

Anonymous asked: Hi Sam, the last time I was diving I noticed a significant amount of crown of thorns all over the reef. What is a healthy amount of these creatures to have on a reef and what's the best way to get rid of an excessive population of them? Also, what are their natural predators and what causes them to multiply so quicky?
