February 1996Green mounds only a few metres apart rise out of the glassy, blue sea. Under the water, fluorescent fish dart through strands of orange corral. The island of Palau is a paradise on earth. It has been voted number one wonder of the underwater world. But all this beauty faces the threat of rampant tourism. Since independence in 1994, the people of Palau are seeking to rePlace US funding with revenue from an ever expanding tourist trade. Although, such economic growth will generate jobs, there is great concern for the environment. Palau's second industry, fishing, is also making an impact. As giant tunas are lifted by cranes from the fishing boats, conservationist Noah Idechong is acting to safeguard fishing stock. He has persuaded local chiefs to reinstate the Paradise in Palau

パラオは、太平洋上のミクロネシア地域の島々からなる国である。ダイバーなら誰でも一度はダイビングしたい所です。数あるポイントの中でもブルーコーナーは外洋に向かってV字に張り出したドロップオフは、憧れの魚達のステージ。サメ、ナポレオン、バラクーダー、ギンガメアジの群れ。それらが、どんな時も、外れなしに登場する海。世界広しと言えど、これだけのポイントはないでしょう。私のもう一つの海のお勧めはタイのスミランです。http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=cxqhZ9-HE0A BlueCorner Palau...
Diving Palau in the Philippine Sea sent all of my senses staggering. Part of Micronesia, Palau dots the aquamarine sea with a chain of 300 islands, of which only eight are inhabited.Above and below the water, you're immersed in the truest tropical paradise. My visit there took place in November '96. I relished my stay on the Palau Aggressor II live-aboard dive boat. (Quick review: A+ crew, meals, accommodations; 106-ft. catamaran)This report covers a well known dive site in Palau, Blue Corner, a heady spot I swooned over twice on this one trip. Blue Corner is at the western tip of the reef off Ngemelis. With its steep drop-off and upwellings of plankton-filled water, the site is a magnet to every size and type of tropical fish, along with a 20-member clan of constantly circling grey reef sharks looking well fed.To start the dive, we needed to dodge the cruising current, which meant a quick drop to 100 feet and a long swim along a 90-degree vertical wall to the island's western edge. Think of it , what's to stop the current out there, a bunch of teensy islands and vast ocean, which means virtually nothing. The Aggressor crew always carefully assessed the current before letting us jump in. If it was too strong, we'd simply go to another site.As the smallest diver, I brought up the rear of the group of 18, kicking calmly but nonstop the whole way, watching those cruising sharks the whole way. Not once did I think of how predators like to take out the easy, weaker prey at the fringes of a pack. Not once ... but several times!When the divemaster spotted our stopping point, we all rose gracefully to 30 feet to find ourselves atop of a marvelously sunlit reef, thriving with every color fish and coral imaginable. There's nothing like diving a shallow reef when the sun hits the white sand full on. The water color vanishes, and you are in a clear bubble, seeing everything with stunning clarity. I grab the opportunity to rest over the sand and watch the tiniest of life forms living their fragile lives. Do the same, and you'll be able to see miniature blennies, who live in coral heads, swivel their tiny eyes about to take you in, you big monster.Since the current at Blue Corner can be strong, once atop the wall, we pulled out reef hooks and yard of connecting cord the crew had given each of us, and attached ourselves gently to this living surface to allow us to stay put for awhile. The challenge was to find even a small dead spot on the reef to latch onto (to avoid hurting any of the living coral, sponges, and other life.)Once safely attached, we then peacefully swayed in the underwater breeze and watched the show swim by. Six sharks were always clearly in view and would regularly sweep by within 10 feet of us while another six were fading into the distance. Yet another half dozen or so were invisible, but out over the blue, making a slow repetitive circle of Blue Corner.As a challenge to myself, when I saw the divemaster swimming freely and easily without his reef hook, I unhooked mine. Sharks everywhere, the threat of a cruising current, and me, a former bookworm who wouldn't put a toe in the ocean, thinks of doing this! But it was no big deal, as I could see from the ease in which the divemaster was maneuvering. (If you don't have finely tuned instincts, don't consider doing the same. People do drift away to Philippines on some of these dives in this area with less watchful dive boat crews!)The final treat on this dive was feeding the big puppy, Junior, a grand Napolean wrasse. I'll guess he was four feet long, weighing in at 200 pounds. They can grow to virtually twice this size. What a sight! He's an out-of-proportion fish, with a huge bump of a forehead, big pillowy lips and tiny fluttering pectoral fins. Blue Corner,...
FLOATING in a silent world the color of milky green tea, I am enveloped by an undulating horde of 10 million jellyfish, some the size of cantaloupes, others the size of apples and a few no bigger than blueberries. All dance the two-step jelly ballet: pulse in, pulse out; pulse in, pulse out. Their simple rhythm is as soothing and vital as a heartbeat.These jellies are found only in this 12-acre pocket of seawater. Known to tourists as Jellyfish Lake and to locals as Ongeiml Tketau, it is one of about 70 marine, or saltwater, lakes in the Republic of Palau, an island nation 550 miles east of the Philippines. Though the lakes remain connected to the sea through fissures in the islands porous limestone, they are shielded from wind and wave by high ridges covered in exuberant foliage. Sounds of the sea are muted by the music of the jungle: buzzing insects, chattering fairy terns, the eerie coo of the Micronesian pigeon. The sky is crisscrossed by fruit bats the size of hawks.Palaus sheltered marine lakes are tiny seas imprisoned in terra firma. Five of the lakes contain unique jellyfish, each varying from its neighbors and their common ancestor in a dramatic example of the origin of species. Charles Darwin, of course, used island residents as models of his revolutionary theory. One species of bird, isolated on bits of land surrounded by water, radiated into a remarkable variety of new forms. The same forces work on marine species isolated in bits of water surrounded by land. If Darwin had stepped ashore in Palau instead of the Galápagos, the icon of evolution might be not Darwins finches, but Darwins jellyfishes. Rise of the JelliesLaura Martin and Lori Bell of the Coral Reef Research Foundation (CRRF), founded in 1991 by marine biologists to study and improve the protection of coral reefs, live the fantasy of every kid who ever dreamed of becoming a marine biologist. The CRRF compound has labs downstairs, an apartment upstairs, aquarium tanks in the courtyard and a boat at the backyard dock.Lots of people have heard about the lake jellies, but there are so many misconceptions, Martin says. Again and again we hear, After millions of years of isolation, they evolved into stingless farmers of algae. None of that is accurate.Palaus marine-lake jellyfish actually diverged very quickly from their common ancestor, the spotted jellyfish. Like other jellyfish, the spotted jellies are cnidarians, a scientific grouping that includes reef-building corals. The spotted jellyfish drift in Palaus lagoon, zapping the occasional zooplankton with their stinging nettles and absorbing the sugary by-products of photosynthesizing algae living in their tissues.Like many jelly species, the spotted jellyfish has a multi-stage life cycle. Adult males and females with the familiar bell-shaped bodies are called medusae, but you would not recognize very young jellyfish as jellyfish at all. After medusae release eggs and sperm into the water, fertilized eggs hatch as larvae that drift for a few days before attaching to solid objects, such as rocks. The larvae morph into polyps resembling tiny anemones. Polyps can bud off into more polyps or, when conditions are right, into new young medusae. Palaus first marine lake formed just 12,000 to 15,000 years ago after the last ice age ended and sea levels rose. Palaus rock islands were limestone peaks riddled with erosion-carved channels, fissures and depressions. Seawater seeping through the limestone transformed the largest depressions into marine lakes and swept in the larvae of spotted jellyfish and other sea creatures. In a mere moment of evolutionary time, the landlocked jellyfish radiated into five different subspecies, each attuned to its own isolated island of seawater. The jellies in the deepest lakes, which filled first and are therefore the oldest, diverged the most from their lagoon-living ancestor. Jellyfish Lake,...
