This is my last diary entry.<\/span><span><br \/><\/span><span><br \/><\/span><span>Day Fourteen<\/span><span><br \/><\/span><span><br \/><\/span><span>I\u2019m sitting in Sorong airport waiting for my flight to Jakarta. I\u2019m asking myself two questions.<\/span><span><br \/><\/span><span><br \/><\/span><span>How is it that an airport in West Papua has covered walkways to the planes but Hobart\u2019s still doesn\u2019t?<\/span><span><br \/><\/span><span><br \/><\/span><span>Is it ironic that the gateway to the most marine biodiverse place on earth has a display aquarium full of goldfish?<\/span><span><br \/><\/span><span><br \/><\/span><span>I grab a window seat and stare out. I love this flight. Once I struck up a still formative conversation for me about Islam with the guy in the next seat.<\/span><span class=\"white-space-pre\"> <\/span><span><br \/><\/span><span><br \/><\/span><span>The small islands and reefs of Raja unfold and I think of all the places I haven\u2019t been, wondering what\u2019s over there \u2026 and there \u2026 and there. I\u2019m also smiling at the thought of heading home to my family.<\/span><span><br \/><\/span><span><br \/><\/span><span>The hours in between give me time to think through my top three takeaways from the trip.<\/span><span><br \/><\/span><span><br \/><\/span><span>1. The remote tropics will break you. My underwater camera housing is now held together with super glue. One of my \u2018good camera\u2019 lenses rattles. The coating came off the wheels on my roller bag. My dive watch has permanent depth anxiety. And every expat I met had cuts or rashes that were red and angry and desperate to infect. To survive and thrive as an NGO in the field in West Papua takes resilience, patience, good humour and sheer will. Multiply all that by two when you\u2019re living and working from a boat restoring reefs.<\/span><span><br \/><\/span><span><br \/><\/span><span>2. Tourism walks a fine line here. Each time I travel to West Papua I have to go further to escape what I\u2019ve come from. It\u2019s still possible to have a unique experience off grid but tourism is coming and where it\u2019s already been the environment isn\u2019t as good as it used to be. Despite our best intentions, almost all of us leave a lot more than footprints and take a lot more than photographs.<\/span><span><br \/><\/span><span><br \/><\/span><span>3. We need to rethink our funding models. Throughout my trip I\u2019ve been struck by how far a little money can go here. For the cost of a few airfares to the next international oceans conference you could fund action to protect breeding leatherback and ensure rangers can patrol Raja Ampat\u2019s first MPA every day. We spend way too much on talking at the expense of doing.<\/span><span><br \/><\/span><span><br \/><\/span><span>My last thought is that we should see the reefs while we can. We should lean back in the water with our eyes open and our arms extended and drink them in and burn them into our memories. And we should view them carefully and with quiet reverence.<\/span><span class=\"white-space-pre\"> <\/span><span><br \/><\/span><span><br \/><\/span><span>Coral reefs are disappearing. Climate change is exacerbating the pressures we already put them under and across the globe they\u2019re showing the signs. We need to ignore the political and tourist industry rhetoric because even in Australia, reefs like Ningaloo and the GBR are no longer and will never be again what they once were.<\/span><span class=\"white-space-pre\"> <\/span><span><br \/><\/span><span><br \/><\/span><span>We need to do more than just talk about them. We need to go see them and love them and invest in them now. Right now.<\/span><span><br \/><\/span><span><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Source:<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/posts\/greg-johannes-281974166_marineconservation-coralreefs-reefrestoration-activity-7218367263085617152-revq?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=member_desktop\"> LinkedIn | Greg Johannes<\/a><br \/><strong>Photo:<\/strong> <span>Arnaud Brival<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;15px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;40px||||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_phone=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p3\"><strong><br \/>Past Entries:\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span><em><span class=\"s1\">About The Author: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/greg-johannes-281974166\/?lipi=urn%3Ali%3Apage%3Ad_flagship3_profile_view_base_recent_activity_content_view%3BOZQETgWXSrGF3nGCvi3pOQ%3D%3D\">Greg Johannes<\/a>, Ambassador\u00a0 &#8211; The SEA People.\u00a0 <\/span><\/em><em><span class=\"s1\">Greg spent 2 weeks aboard the Galaxea with us and documented his experience in his daily entries into &#8216;The SEA People Diaries&#8217;.<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Day 13 &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/theseapeople.org\/2024\/07\/25\/day-thirteen-the-sea-people-diaries-by-greg-johannes\/\">Read here<\/a><br \/>Day 12 &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/theseapeople.org\/2024\/07\/23\/day-twelve-the-sea-people-diaries-by-greg-johannes\/\">Read here<\/a><\/strong><span><em><span class=\"s1\"><\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Day 11 &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/theseapeople.org\/2024\/07\/22\/day-eleven-the-sea-people-diaries-by-greg-johannes\/\">Read here<\/a><br \/><\/strong><span><em><span class=\"s1\"><\/span><\/em><\/span><strong>Day Ten &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/theseapeople.org\/2024\/07\/18\/day-ten-the-sea-people-diaries-by-greg-johannes\/\">Read here<\/a><br \/><\/strong><span><em><span class=\"s1\"><\/span><\/em><\/span><strong>Day Nine &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/theseapeople.org\/2024\/07\/17\/day-nine-the-sea-people-diaries-by-greg-johannes\/\">Read here<\/a><\/strong><em><br \/><\/em><span><em><span class=\"s1\"><\/span><\/em><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Day Eight &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/theseapeople.org\/2024\/07\/16\/day-eight-the-sea-people-diaries-by-greg-johannes\/\">Read here<\/a><\/strong><br \/><strong>Day Seven &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/theseapeople.org\/2024\/07\/15\/day-seven-the-sea-people-diaries-by-greg-johannes\/\">Read here<\/a><\/strong><br \/><strong>Day Six &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/theseapeople.org\/2024\/07\/14\/day-six-the-sea-people-diaries-by-greg-johannes\/\">Read here<\/a><\/strong><\/span><em><span class=\"s1\"><br \/><\/span><\/em><strong><em><span class=\"s1\"><\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/span><strong>Day Five &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/theseapeople.org\/2024\/07\/13\/day-five-the-sea-people-diaries-by-greg-johannes\/\">Read here\u00a0<\/a><br \/>Day Four &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/theseapeople.org\/2024\/07\/12\/day-four-the-sea-people-diaries-by-greg-johannes\/\">Read here<\/a><br \/><\/strong><strong>Day Three &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/theseapeople.org\/2024\/07\/11\/day-three-the-sea-people-diaries-by-greg-johannes\/\">Read here<\/a><br \/><\/strong><span><strong>Day One and Two &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/theseapeople.org\/2024\/07\/10\/day-one-and-two-the-sea-people-diaries-by-greg-johannes\/\">Read here<\/a><br \/><\/strong><\/span><span><strong>Day Zero &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/theseapeople.org\/2024\/07\/09\/day-zero-the-sea-people-diaries-by-greg-johannes\/\">Read here<br \/><\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1.
