French Polynesia is a group of Central Pacific tropical islands south of Hawaii.  Most famous of their islands is Tahiti and Bora Bora, but there are ~170 islands in French Polynesia, each with unique coral reefs.  Being outside of the "Coral Triangle," the biodiversity is not as rich as the Indo-Pacific.  However, the coral reefs here are robust thanks to French Polynesia's remote location and lower human activity.  One look at the impressive shark populations tells us how healthy these reefs are.

The first video shows young snorkels enjoying the power of the ocean and beauty of Tikehau, French Polynesia.  The wave action is remarkable, sculpting the low, compact formation of the coral reef.  The second video is by Eric Cheng and is a mini-documentary describing shark diving in these islands.  The "walls" of sharks greeting divers is a testament to the health of the ecosystem.  Healthy predators means healthy reefs.

These are large-file HD videos so they may stutter with slower connection speeds.  You can either turn off HD (click HD at the bottom right of the video) or pause the video and let it load completely before playing.

Qui autem de summo bono dissentit de tota philosophiae ratione dissentit. Saepe ab Aristotele, a Theophrasto mirabiliter est laudata per se ipsa rerum scientia; Si enim ad populum me vocas, eum. Virtutis, magnitudinis animi, patientiae, fortitudinis fomentis dolor mitigari solet. Haec qui audierit, ut ridere non curet, discedet tamen nihilo firmior ad dolorem ferendum, quam venerat. Gracchum patrem non beatiorem fuisse quam fillum, cum alter stabilire rem publicam studuerit, alter evertere. Quod autem satis est, eo quicquid accessit, nimium est; Nam memini etiam quae nolo, oblivisci non possum quae volo. Nec lapathi suavitatem acupenseri Galloni Laelius anteponebat, sed suavitatem ipsam neglegebat; In quo etsi est magnus, tamen nova pleraque et perpauca de moribus. Vitae autem degendae ratio maxime quidem illis placuit quieta. Igitur ne dolorem quidem. Iam illud quale tandem est, bona praeterita non effluere sapienti, mala meminisse non oportere? O magnam vim ingenii causamque iustam, cur nova existeret disciplina! Perge porro. Aliter enim nosmet ipsos nosse non possumus. Quid enim tanto opus est instrumento in optimis artibus comparandis? At ego quem huic anteponam non audeo dicere; Sed virtutem ipsam inchoavit, nihil amplius. Itaque primos congressus copulationesque et consuetudinum instituendarum voluntates fieri propter voluptatem; Et quod est munus, quod opus sapientiae? Quid affers, cur Thorius, cur Caius Postumius, cur omnium horum magister, Orata, non iucundissime vixerit? Consequentia exquirere, quoad sit id, quod volumus, effectum. Mihi enim satis est, ipsis non satis. Atque haec ita iustitiae propria sunt, ut sint virtutum reliquarum communia. Similiter sensus, cum accessit ad naturam, tuetur illam quidem, sed etiam se tuetur; Audax negotium, dicerem impudens, nisi hoc institutum postea translatum ad philosophos nostros esset. Equidem, sed audistine modo de Carneade? Nonne videmus quanta perturbatio rerum omnium consequatur, quanta confusio? Eorum enim est haec querela, qui sibi cari sunt seseque diligunt. Et adhuc quidem ita nobis progresso ratio est, ut ea duceretur omnis a prima commendatione naturae. Ita multo sanguine profuso in laetitia et in victoria est mortuus. Hoc non est positum in nostra actione. Et quod est munus, quod opus sapientiae? At hoc in eo M. Immo alio genere; Idem iste, inquam, de voluptate quid sentit? Nummus in Croesi divitiis obscuratur, pars est tamen divitiarum. Ita cum ea volunt retinere, quae superiori sententiae conveniunt, in Aristonem incidunt; Sint modo partes vitae beatae. Hoc non est positum in nostra actione. Itaque hic ipse iam pridem est reiectus; Et quidem saepe quaerimus verbum Latinum par Graeco et quod idem valeat; Nam de isto magna dissensio est. Quia nec honesto quic quam honestius nec turpi turpius. Quasi vero, inquit, perpetua oratio rhetorum solum, non etiam philosophorum sit. Est igitur officium eius generis, quod nec in bonis ponatur nec in contrariis. Quam tu ponis in verbis, ego positam in re putabam. Tu enim ista lenius, hic Stoicorum more nos vexat. Ea, quae dialectici nunc tradunt et docent, nonne ab illis instituta sunt aut inventa sunt? Non igitur bene. Id et fieri posse et saepe esse factum et ad voluptates percipiendas maxime pertinere. Non enim, si omnia non sequebatur, idcirco non erat ortus illinc. Quicquid porro animo cernimus, id omne oritur a sensibus; Non autem hoc: igitur ne illud quidem. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Fortemne possumus dicere eundem illum Torquatum? Nam si quae sunt aliae, falsum est omnis animi voluptates esse e corporis societate. Itaque homo in primis ingenuus et gravis, dignus illa familiaritate Scipionis et Laelii, Panaetius, cum ad Q. Quia dolori non voluptas contraria est, sed doloris privatio. Duo Reges: constructio interrete. Primum in nostrane potestate est, quid meminerimus? Huius ego nunc auctoritatem sequens idem faciam. Num igitur eum postea censes anxio animo aut sollicito fuisse? Iubet igitur nos Pythius Apollo noscere nosmet ipsos. Causa autem fuit huc veniendi ut quosdam hinc libros promerem.
