Built on the site of a former shark finning camp in Raja Ampat, Misool is a private island resort surrounded by the richest reefs on earth. The resort lies at the center of the 300,000 acre Misool Marine Reseve. Inside this area, fishing has been banned since 2005. The reserve has seen a 250% increase in biomass in a 6 year period & is patrolled by the resort's charity arm Misool Foundation, a proud partner of WildAid. Scientist, Dr. Mark Erdmann, raves, "There is greater biodiversity -that is to say, a larger number & greater diversity of fish, coral, and molluscs -on these reefs than anywhere on earth." Thanks to Misool's conservation work, this is "one of only a handful of places in the universe where biodiversity is improving rather than declining."
