Shot in Lamisher Bay on St John Island in the USVI, this video is about Dr. John Turner, PhD, and his on-going study. Dr. Turner's research spans over 15 years, and measures the impact of human-kind on the coral reef habitat and marine life.

I have a house on St.John. I dove there with my friends it was beautiful I hope that we can preserve these amazing coral reefs.

Thanks for the beautiful video and all the work you are doing. I cannot agree with aeriesouthwind, that the problem is tourism and the Almighty Dollar. As a diver, I am very aware, as are my peers, that the reefs in all countries must be protected and used gently. If anything...the health of the reefs are a direct result of the education that divers have done to fellow divers and industries alike. Cheers

It is essential that we who live here in these lovely Virgin Islands keep very aware and active in the pursuit of protection of the very things that make this area so attractive to tourists and ex-pats. If one wants to reduce this down to the influx of dollars, that's one way to look at it...but it's a lose/lose situation for all concerned if growth is allowed to run rampant. Margo Rose

Wow, great footage. It's great to see efforts like these raising awareness. I'd be curious to measure cortisol levels in my livestock, and compare those levels to typical levels in the wild. Fascinating, thanks!
