Turtle Bay Marine Park

 

Moray Eels

 The coral reef

Some fascinating creatures to be found in the rock pools at low tide. Simon walked out there every day with a camera. I managed it once - it was very slippery! Although it was a 'nationally protected marine park' the locals fished it and were to be seen selling the fish each day. We even saw a turtle being caught and killed, then sold to someone. When we were out really early, the locals were seen carrying huge chunks of coral away. So the Kenyan Wildlife Service that are supposed to manage this water, were not doing too good a job on their policing. The beach was devoid of shells, yet covered in plastic bottles.
