Off the coast of Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines is one of the most diverse marine communities on Earth. This ecoregion is home to nine times as many stony corals as live in the Caribbean Sea and more than twice the number found in the Indian Ocean.
Six of the world’s seven species of sea turtles can be found here, along with huge whale sharks, massive manta rays, and an amazing abundance of fish species.
