February 13, 2007 Papua New Guinea (PNG), March 2006 - 2009. The world's coral reefs are in serious trouble and many researchers and scientists fear that most are unlikely to survive this century. PNG's coral reefs are arguably the most extraordinary coral reef systems left on the earth. Plankton Productions is now focussed on documenting Papua New Guinea's marine world as a major project for TV documentaries and education. We are also supporting the expansion of sustainable marine eco-tourism in PNG because we see it as an essential economic pathway to the future health, management and preservation of one of the worlds few last truly wild natural history places. Over the next few years we plan to extensively document PNG's underwater realms creating the largest library of its kind of this region. We are sharing the imagery we acquire with PNG's Tourism Authority and Dive Tourist operators at no cost so they can promote sustainable marine based ecotourism with our state-of-the-art HD vision. We would also like to directly support marine education throughout the country by providing access and use of our footage to interested parties on a non-commercial basis. We plan to donate a copy of our PNG Imagery Archives to appropriate entities in PNG for the long term benefit and use of future generations. We have already accumulated nearly 200 hours of HD vision of PNG's marine world up to the end of 2006 with more trips planned for 2007 to 2009. Our marine filming base in PNG is at the amazing Tawali Dive Resort in Milne Bay. For more about Tawali visit www.tawali.com ← Back to News | Top ↑ |
