Kimbe Bay is a large bay in West New Britain Province, off the northern coast of New Britain, Papua New Guinea, and is an increasingly important biodiversity flashpoint.
Due to pollution, global warming, and other destructive human activities, many of the Earth’s coral reefs have died off. Kimbe Bay is thought to be a last refuge for coral and the many animal and plant species that depend on it to survive should degradation continue.
Kimbe Bay is home to about 60 percent of all Indo-Pacific coral species and more than 860 coral reef fish species.
