Did you know feeding wild fish is actually quite damaging? A few years ago, I had no idea. Similar to feeding monkeys (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8prC8HOlXFw&t=321s), this is something that is fairly widely done in popular tourist areas, ultimately for the entertainment of tourists, but it can have quite a negative effect on the fish. It also has far-reaching implications for the ecosystem the fish live in, because coral reefs and other marine environments rely on fish behaviour to stay healthy, and if we humans change that behaviour by feeding fish, entire reefs can be wiped out.
All the still images in this video are from my old crappy underwater camera (long before the days of GoPros lol) and were taken in Fiji and Thailand in 2012.
