Madagascar's forests are a shimmering, seething mass of a trillion stems and dripping leaves and slithering, jumping, quirky creatures out of nature's bag of tricks: lemurs, periwinkles and baobabs, aloes, geckoes, sifakas and octopus trees.

Then imagine a series of coral reefs separared only by passages which become long underwater canyons and small islands around witch fishing is very productive. All the species of the Indian Ocean can be found there: sailfish, marlin, shark, king fish and many more.
