Cendrawasih Bay
Teluk Cendrawasih National Park is located in Teluk Cendrawasih, or Cendrawasih Bay, in the Papua Barat (West Papua) province. The National Park includes the islands Mioswaar, Nusrowi, Roon, Rumberpon and Yoop and stretches across a vast 1,453,500 hectares. The area is hugely diverse, encompassing different biomes from coral reefs to mangroves and terrestrial tropical forests.
A total of 200 fish specifies live in the turquoise waters of Cendrawasih Bay, amongst black and blue coral, as well as other coral species. Diving here one can expect to see dozens of butterfly fish and uncountable numbers of damsels and parrotfish. The rare Triton’s trumpet can be spotted here too, alongside giant clams and cone shells. Larger marine life includes hawksbill, green and leatherback turtles, dugongs, coconut crabs, dolphins and shark.
The highlights of Cendrawasih Bay, however, is the majestic whale shark, which is seen here all year ‘round. They visit the waters off Kwatisore village, near Nabire. These plankton lovers hover around the fishing platforms, often surrounded by small fish, and are often seen stealing some of the fisherman’s catch.
