Yes, nice but it’s not a real 360 degree view…look at the top and floor.
what is really important is that the coral reefs are being destroyed. Just another feel good disneyland display to assuage guilt.
Congradulations Yadegar Asisi !
As an Australian I aplaud you. This is great for educating the world communities what fragile beauty rests within human influence.
I hope it motivates us to understand more, care more and act more regarding nature and ecosystems.
