    5 things you need to know about the Amazon Reef

    We’ve all been in love with the Amazon Reef for a while, and a lot has happened since our first visit, back in January last year. We knew such awesome place had many more wonders to discover, so we just had to go back there.

    Greenpeace discovers Amazon Reef extends to French Guiana waters

    “This is breaking news. With the strong currents present in the region, an oil spill from Total’s project in Brazil could reach and damage the reef found in French waters.

    The beauty of West Africa’s ocean is overwhelming
