The Dampier Strait separates the islands of Waigeo and Batanta and is part of the Indonesian Throughflow, channeling a gigantic volume of water from the Pacific Ocean to the Indian Ocean and back. These currents carry with them millions of eggs and larvae that supply the region with both genetic diversity and food. A buffet for sea creatures of all sorts!
Almost 75% of the world’s known hard coral species, 1400 species of reef fish, 17 types of mollusk, 13 marine mammal species and five of the world’s seven sea turtle species can be found in the area.
