EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the destructive power of the Crown of Thorns starfish (Acanthaster planci) in all its glory. The image, taken in Bunaken National Park, North Sulawesi, Indonesia, captures the essence of nature's delicate balance and the devastating consequences when it is disrupted. The Crown of Thorns starfish is a voracious predator that feeds on corals with an insatiable appetite. Unfortunately, its population has experienced a rapid surge, resulting in widespread destruction of coral reefs across large areas. This photograph serves as a stark reminder of the impact human activities can have on marine ecosystems. In this underwater snapshot, we witness the single starfish perched upon vibrant coral formations. Its spiky crown symbolizes both beauty and danger simultaneously. As an echinoderm belonging to the biological realm of invertebrates, this creature exemplifies nature's intricate diversity. Bunaken National Park provides a tropical backdrop for this mesmerizing scene—an idyllic location now under threat due to these predatory creatures' increasing numbers. The image not only highlights their role as apex predators but also draws attention to urgent conservation efforts needed to protect fragile marine environments worldwide. Through this powerful visual narrative captured by Science Photo Library, viewers are compelled to contemplate humanity's responsibility towards preserving our planet's precious biodiversity and safeguarding vital habitats like coral reefs from further devastation caused by species such as Acanthaster planci.
