Situated in the Bird's Head Seascape, in the northwestern part of Indonesia's Papua province, CI's Dr. Mark Erdmann states, "We were simply blown away by what we found." Over 1200 species of fish and 600 species of coral plus sharks that walk on their fins. No, really. Divester has the complete scoop!
