Sabah's Chief Minister pointed out today that 25,000 foreign divers had visited Sabah in 2007. Of course, he mentioned Sipadan, Mabul, Kapalai, Lankayan and Layang-Layang. Having visited most of these, I certainly agree that TARP is their poor cousin. The news item didn't say if he also mentioned TARP. Hopefully he did. If he didn't, I hope it does not mean that TARP is officially ignored. TARP really needs to be nurtured. Carefully. It is not in fantastic condition. But it has many gorgeous features (like this Camel shrimp - Rhynchocinetes durbanensis from the family RHYNCHOCINETIDAE - taken on 19th March 2007 off Sapi Island), although sadly one needs to take a lot of time and effort to see some of these.Wednesday, May 14, 2008
