Celebrating #WorldRangerDay! The @OceansWB team are working against all odds to strengthen the conservation status of critical marine and coastal ecosystems surrounding #andBeyondTravel island lodges, helping to conserve and protect over 3 000 km of African coastline.

The Quirimbas Archipelago is really a special place - a shining beacon of hope on the African coastline. There are deep submarine canyons that run between the islands there, creating cool water upwellings that support a great diversity of coral species.
