These peppered morays live in the sea grass field  in the old paint bucket just off shore in Hurghada, Egypt. The area is full of rubbish, and no matter how much we collect, it's getting more every day. And animals here just have to live in those human-made holes.

Thank you, Carol. I'm not sure they'll learn, it's not the first year we are fighting this: in 2006 I've explained for a week to the boat crew, that they should not throw cigarettes in the sea. Now they use ashtrays... and then empty the ashtrays in the sea.

Your photos of the grass beds are beautiful. I hope the locals learn to take care of wha they have before they lose it. I live near a pristine bay in Florida that has a large sea grass preserve. I know how important the ecosystem is.
