The exceptional rich underwater flora and fauna in this region of Bali's waters is a result of the combination of the 'Indonesian trough flow' and it's location (only 8 degrees from the equator) making it the world's richest marine bio-geographic zone. The Indonesian 'trough flow' pushes plankton-rich water from the Pacific Ocean to the Indian Ocean through the Lombok Strait (between Bali and Lombok). This plankton attracts fish, attracting bigger fish, attracting even bigger fish and so on. Taken together, these factors take credit for a single bay harboring more species than the entire Hawaiian island chain.
