In Reef Explorers the two spend a full day examining various life forms found in reefs and tide pools adjacent to the island.

Later in the day they visit the opposite side of the island, where the aquatic life forms are entirely different, due to an offshore current of warmer water. Many different species of fish, shellfish, marine mammals, and marine plant life are noted and described, drawing the reader right into the reefs and tide pools with them. As always, they have conversations with each other that serve the purpose of teaching the reader the books are written for children about potentially harmful things that could damage aquatic life, such as not breaking off pieces of living coral to take as souvenirs.

Any of these books are very appropriate for young children who enjoy having stories read to them, and are very nicely illustrated. I was given a free copy of this book by Reader's Favorites in exchange for an honest review.

In return, residents continue to enforce the park regulations, clean the beaches, and protect important animals like nesting sea turtles. Their challenge is ongoing, as tourism in the region grows and puts new pressures on the reefs and the fish populations. Plans were in the works for a resort only miles north of the reef that, if improperly managed, could seriously impact the progress made.

Why has Cabo Pulmo been so successful in restoring fish populations? It is clear that community involvement, protected area size, fishing eradication and other factors were key in this impressive success.

But it is still unclear to scientists exactly how slow-growing top predators, like sharks, could have recovered in this short period of time. The open nature of the ocean likely plays an important role.

Slow growing animals probably did not grow up in Cabo Pulmo, but Cabo Pulmo provided a refuge for migrating animals from other regions looking for booming fish-stocks on healthy coral habitats. In turn, the fish that mature in Cabo Pulmo have spilled over into other reefs and regions. Yet, in reality, there is only one ocean that is all connected.

This is cause for optimism. As seen in Cabo Pulmo, positive impacts in one regions can spill over into others and, if properly managed, depleted fish populations can rebound with help from populations elsewhere.
