My name is Benji Jones and I'm an environmental correspondent at Vox.

So this last July I went to a small island in the South Caribbean called Bonair and it's famous for its coral reef and for shore diving.

And I'd heard that this reef is in really good shape, so I was really excited to see it because so many reefs around the world are just suffering from all kinds of issues.

So I sunk down beneath the waves.

And honestly, what I saw was pretty incredible.

There were giant coral structures, sea turtles, sharks,

it looked like this reef was doing really well, and it gave me hope

for the future of coral reefs around the world. Like I've actually felt positive for once, and I'm

excited to talk about it on Today Explained.
