## Caption

Photo by daviddoubilet | A near-perfect ring of barracuda surrounds a diver in Papua New Guinea. The living carousel made three complete circles before turning downward, forming a silver river. Schooling behavior offers safety in numbers and protection from predators. 

Papua New Guinea is a cornerstone of the Coral Triangle, an area of the Pacific known for its extensive marine biodiversity. The moment I saw this image it reminded me how connected we are to the sea. #CoralTriangle #PapuaNewGuinea #MoreOcean #AsTheOceansGoSoDoWe
