Fishing & Ocean

Costa Rica, a small country that embraces two oceans, is home to nearly 4% of the planet’s biodiversity. A fundamental part of this wealth is found in its marine ecosystems, which cover more than 90% of the national territory and are home to countless species. However, the blue world also faces silent threats. Amid waves and challenges, these stories show the resilience of life at sea.

That beautiful, powerful ocean we love to gaze over at sunset is a balm to the senses. Lovely to wade in, relaxing to lie beside, soothing to listen to. We all love our coastal life here. But it comes with a few dangers, so why not be prepared?

Along the edge of our coast, where ocean meets rainforest, one can find Manuel Antonio. Toucans swoop from branches, howlers rumble deep within the trees, sloths pass overhead...Underneath the surface, the richness only enhances. White-tip sharks, rays, octopuses, reef fish, and nudibranchs call these marine-protected waters their home. At the base of the ecosystem, live the organisms that facilitate all this biodiversity, Coral Reefs.
