By: Stephan Becker on: Sep 21,2009 In: 3D GPS coral reef mapping“Destructive fishing methods are the economic equivalent of slaughtering the goose that lays golden eggs… I believe that alignment of interests, and that includes long-term financial interests, with local communities can do much more to protect the valuable reef resources in Indonesia than a rigid system of grants and education attempts by environmental organizations ever could”.

About this blog
Stephan is the President and Founder of Beautiful Oceans, an international coral reef education, mapping and conservation organization. His company donates 1% of its annual revenues or 10% of its annual profits, whichever is greater, to non-profit organizations working in the field of marine conservation. Beautiful Oceans Coral Reef Adventures and courses are available online and at selected destinations throughout the Caribbean for the enjoyment of the entire family.
To quote Stephan: "My commitment to the protection of the natural world finds its roots in the profound understanding that all life on Earth is interconnected. Being respectful of all forms of life equals being respectful of ourselves." When Stephan is not in the water diving or snorkeling, he likes to practice Yoga on the beach or tell ocean stories to marveled kids..
