EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Steve Jones showcases the vibrant and diverse marine life found in Papua New Guinea's Kimbe Bay. The image captures a magnificent barrel sponge, known scientifically as Xestospongia testudinaria, attached to a reef wall on South Emma reef. Adorned with a striking yellow crinoid, this barrel sponge stands out against the backdrop of the underwater seascape. The rich biodiversity of this region is evident in the presence of various species such as demospongiae, feather stars, and echinoderms. The large brown and red siliceous sponges add depth and texture to the scene while highlighting nature's beauty beneath the surface. In this thriving ecosystem, these sessile filter feeders play an essential role in maintaining balance. They provide shelter for other organisms like sea lilies and contribute to coral reef growth. This photograph captures not only their majestic appearance but also their significance within the marine biology realm. With no human presence visible in this color image taken during daylight hours, it emphasizes that these animals are thriving undisturbed in their natural habitat. The photo serves as a reminder of how crucial it is to preserve our oceans' delicate ecosystems for future generations to appreciate and study. Steve Jones has skillfully captured both the conformity and vibrancy present within this underwater world off New Britain Island's coast. It is an awe-inspiring snapshot that highlights nature's wonders while showcasing Papua New Guinea's remarkable aquatic treasures.
