Reef Urchins

Photograph taken while snorkeling in the lagoon before the Wakashio disaster and Covid lockdown meant that the Pointe d’Esny beach and lagoon was closed for a many months. The photo highlights the vibrant colours of lagoon life, but is also a reference to the the colours of the Wakashio that, like the animals depicted, ate away at the reef. The photo is also a demonstration that it is not necessary to have expensive equipment in order to take interesting underwater photos in the lagoon.
