Photographing curious sea snakes

3:03

coming towards you?

3:03

Claire took us for a ride. We stay still, we don't

3:07

move. They don't attack; they're very

3:10

curious. They really let the

3:11

photographer take the picture.

3:18

The number of snakes recorded at

3:21

Lemon Bay astonished the researchers.

3:23

We're at 260.2. Before

3:27

starting the study, I would have bet on

3:29

three, four, maybe ten at most. We

3:31

know they'll inevitably eat a huge amount

3:32

of fish every year, so

3:35

we know their role in the

3:36

functioning of the ecosystem is

3:38

important. I'm very proud of the work

3:40

done by this team of

3:42

grandmothers. It's even an honor to be able to

3:45

participate in the search for clear water, to be

3:47

able to help people. It's

3:50

fantastic.
