Made up of thousands of small islands in the western Pacific Ocean, Micronesia is a sub-region of Oceania. It has a shared cultural history with two other island regions, Polynesia to the east and Melanesia to the south. Yap is located in the Caroline Islands of the western Pacific Ocean.Scuba diving in Yap is truly outstanding. There is an extensive barrier reef protecting many of the dive sites in Yap as well as channels and even lagoons .The highlight of Yap are its resident Manta Rays and reef shark population
The marine ecosystem around Yap Island is a remarkable bionetwork of cleaning stations, with sufficient density of planktonic organisms and a pollution-free environment. This is an irreplaceable haven and allows Yap’s manta ray population to be yearlong residents. The waters around Yap are one of the very few places in the world where the promise of a manta ray sighting is almost guaranteed anytime of the year. The sanctuary management plan will provide an ecological approach to protecting the habitat for manta rays and other marine species, including sharks, ensuring that these resources will be plentiful for future generations.
