Gulls, gannets, and penguins are neighbors on Mercury Island, near the Diamond Coast of Namibia. The country’s first marine protected area aims to reduce human disturbance and increase natural abundance around Mercury and ten other islands along 250 miles of coastline.

What a striking photo! At first, I thought all those gulls on the beach were little symmetrical rocks or some such...

And then I looked closer.

I hope their protected areas can be kept safe for them.
