After this 400 pound stingray was accidentally caught by fishermen, it was released back into its natural habitat in the Mekong River. CHHUT CHHEANA, WONDERS OF THE MEKONG.

Excerpt from this story from National Geographic:

As the Mekong River descends into Cambodia from neighboring Laos, flowing languidly past sandbanks and forest-covered islands, it’s hard to imagine the explosion of life that occurs underneath its surface.

In this stretch of river, about 100 miles long, up to 200 billion fish are spawned every year, helping to make the 2,700-mile-long Mekong one of the most fish-rich rivers on the planet. Deep pools reaching down 260 feet serve as refuges for some of the world’s largest and most endangered freshwater fish species.

This biological richness usually remains hidden from human view. But last week it surfaced, literally, as fishers hauled a 13-foot-long giant freshwater stingray, weighing almost 400 pounds, out of the Mekong’s murky depths. The fish had been captured accidentally after it swallowed a smaller fish on a baited hook. Not wanting to kill the female ray, the fishers called a rescue team, which managed to unhook it, weigh and measure it, and release it back to the river unharmed.

The Mekong River, which starts in the Tibetan highlands and runs through six countries on its way to the South China Sea, is recognized as a global biodiversity hotspot, with close to 1,000 species of fish found throughout its system. It supports the largest inland fishery in the world, providing livelihoods for tens of millions of people living in the region.

“The team inserted a tagging device near the tail of the fish that will send tracking information for the next year, providing data on giant stingray behaviour in Cambodia.”

One of my favorite scenes in Apocalypse now is the night firefight scene on the river. They’re going along the river at night but someone opens fire on them. So the boat opens fire right back at them and it escalates. More gunfire starts to join in and there’s gunfire all around. The thing that gets me about this scene is you don’t know who fired the first shot. It could have been the NVA but it also could have been some American troops who were drugged up or made a mistake and started friendly fire. Because it’s all cloaked in darkness you don’t know who’s fighting who which makes it all the more chaotic and terrifying. It makes it feel very real. That’s why I love it so much.

Sunlight Caps the Snowy Meili Mountain Range in a Majestic Photo Series

Soaring more than 22,000 feet above the landscape, the frigid Meili mountain range sits at the edge of Yunnan’s Deqin County in the Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture and borders the phenomenal “Three Parallel Rivers,” a UNESCO world heritage site where the Jinsha, Mekong, and Salween each run alongside each other but never converge. The imposing landmark, while steeped in cultural and historical significance, is majestic and sublime in its own right, features Shenzhen-based photographer Rainlook captures in a new series. Taken around 6 a.m., the images are shot when the first break of sunlight shines on the snow-streaked terrain, casting the mountain peaks in an ethereal glow while leaving the rest in nighttime shadows.

China Changes Tack On Water Politics

Fengshi Wu, UNSW in Sydney* Long a source of tension with its neighbours, China’s transboundary rivers are opening opportunities for regional cooperation. Sixteen major rivers originate in China that supply fresh water to nearly 3 billion people in 14 Asian countries – more than a third of the world’s population. As ‘Asia’s water tower’, China has often been depicted as the upstream bully when it…

Day 14 Ho Chi Minh City

Our last port of call before Singapore was Ho Chi Minh City or Saigon. A very hot day too hot to explore, so just chilled out.

After another relaxing day at sea and 480nm (888kms) we arrived in a very hot Ho Chi Minh City our last port of call and an overnight stay. As I am frequent visitor to Ho Chi Minh City for work so decided to chill for the day and overnight just enjoy a day and night doing nothing in the city. Arriving in Saigon is a bit of a task for the crew as the transit from the South China Sea is about 50nm…
