Comoros

A Fish Caught in Time:
The Search for the Coelacanth
by Samantha Weinberg

A fascinating tale of early oceanography and the rediscovery of a living fossil. Having adapted and survived for 400 million years, the much sought-after but rarely caught coelacanth brought a boost to the economy of the islands of Comoros – along with some lively international debate over this endangered species and question of its ownership.
