Tokashiki Island is said to have the 3rd clearest water in the world. I was out there 3 days after a typhoon, so the visibility had been affected.

Coral Farming

While snorkeling off of Sesoko Island 瀬底島 in Okinawa, I came across a coral farm.

The coral was grown on long metal pipes that were inserted into the ocean floor. The coral was a variety of sizes and types, however I am unsure whether this coral was being grown for conservation or economic reasons.
