Myanmar
is a developing nation. And is the case
with many developing nations, the leadership has a severe case of shortermism. They are using all of their natural resources
as fast as possible including trees and fish.
They are allowing their fish to be poisoned and blown up with dynamite leaving
80% of the fish to die and go to the bottom. It's very, very sad to see.
Black Rock had experienced poisoning recently and there were many
carcasses on the bottom and nearly all the anemone fish had been killed in the
process. We dove two dives and then the
tour leader, Steve, decided to head south in hopes we would be away from dead
fish.

The
weather came on that evening and it looks like a big storm. We sat the last
dive out.
Enjoy!
