This photo was taken at one of my favourite dive site in my home country, Taiwan. I found this cute blenny at just 6M depth underwater. Each time when divers pass through, she turns her head and looks curiously at their movements. Sometimes she swims out of her house to check what’s happening outside.

What I like most is the “house wall” consisting of beautiful green hard corals. For me, it feels like the small cutie lives with comfortable grassland. The gentle current is like soft breeze, and each time when she is kissed, the “antennas” on her head swing along. The time spent with her is such a wonderful summer-time memory for me.

Warmer water temperatures brought on by climate change stress corals because they are very sensitive to changes in temperature. Bleaching occurs when corals respond to the stress of warmer temperatures by expelling the colourful algae that live within them. Some corals are able to recover, but too often the corals die.

If nothing is done to reduce carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere, more and more corals will be damaged or destroyed. Not only these beautiful creatures will lose their habitats, but also the entire ecosystem for which it forms the base, will virtually disappear.

這隻可愛的布蘭妮的家園由美麗的綠色硬珊瑚所構成，每當有潛水員經過時，它總會好奇地探探頭來凝視與觀察潛水員的動作。

全球暖化所造成的海水溫度升高會導致珊瑚礁產生白化現象，以致死亡。如此一來，我們也會失去倚賴珊瑚礁生存的各種生物，最終將導致整個海洋生態系統瓦解。人們必須致力於減少溫室氣體的排放，節能減碳，一起守護我們美麗的地球。
