The Indonesian Navy has begun to take a seriously no-nonsense approach to illegal fishermen as they blow up two illegal vessels in Ambon Bay after the crews had been arrested and their gear confiscated.

There are still an estimated 5,400 ships fishing illegally in Indonesia’s waters.

This footage was taken in November 2014 and you can see the 9 centimeter fish as it was seen by the midwater research …

When Graciela Mahana went fishing with a couple of friends, she didn’t expect to catch such an amazing catch with her cell phone’s camera. The friends were fishing from the beach when the wife hooked something big.

Although it appears to be traveling with such a load without a purpose, the fact is that this octopus has a plan. Like other octopi that have been documented doing the same thing, this animal will bring the coconut shells with it and use them …

People expect to see statues of the Virgin Mary in a number of places, but the bottom of the ocean is not one of them. However, if you go diving off the coast of Bohol in the Philippines, you might get lucky enough to see the Holy Mother a hundred feet below the ocean’s surface.
