Coral Triangle

Through the dazzling diversity of fish life revealed by our Bishop Museum deep divers, we will tell the story of how this region became so rich through volcanic activity, shifting tectonic plates, and changing sea levels.

The Coral Triangle is the major junction of three great oceans; a veritable highway for great ocean travellers, such as the leatherback turtle, whale sharks, and blue whales.

Dr. Lawrence Blair, author, and anthropologist revisit the subjects of his definitive book on the region, The Ring of Fire. Together with underwater pioneer Valerie Taylor, we understand these region’s people and their relationship with the marine richness that surrounds them.
