About the guide

A small window into a very big sea.

This independent field guide introduces a handful of marine animals visitors may hear about or encounter around Ishigaki and the Yaeyama Islands. Sightings are never guaranteed, and the reef is always best observed without touching, chasing or feeding wildlife.

Conservation categories are global IUCN assessments where available. Photo credits and reusable licenses appear with each species.
