Fish Slates Of Marine Life In South East Asia
 Marine Graphics is a design company based in Thailand specialising in web design, layout design including logos, brochures, business cards, advertising, signboards, boat deck layouts, and maps to name a few. We also provide a range of products related to scuba diving & snorkelling like fish slates, logbook fish & dive site stickers, logbooks, fish T-shirts, high resolution scenic, marine life & boat photographs & beautifully illustrated "3D" maps of dive sites surrounding Phuket and the famous Similan Islands.
The tropical aquatic realm can be more than a little confusing at first. With this in mind Marine Graphics developed high quality marine life identification slates also known as fish id slates with over 200 full colour photographs of tropical fish and marine life. These provide a great learning tool for identifying marine species while diving and snorkelling. The aim of this project is twofold: firstly it provides reef enthusiasts with quick learning tools bypassing the need to purchase heavy books while on holiday and secondly to educate people in the hope that through better understanding of the underwater realm it will generate a greater level of respect and care for this fragile ecosystem which is sadly under threat from human activities worldwide.
Dubbed "the rainforests of the sea," coral reefs consist of about 800 species of stony corals. They are home to about 4,000 species of fish (more than a quarter of all known marine fish species), as well as a variety of sponge, mollusks, and other invertebrates. And that is only the known species, for there are many yet to be discovered. Coral reefs and associated habitats also help to support important charismatic species that are loved the world over, such as marine turtles, dugongs, rays, dolphins, whale sharks, and others. Estimates of total diversity of reefs range up to 2 million species.
