Panoramic camera capture reef view —
The Catlin Seaview Survey used a 360-degree SVII-S panoramic camera to take these stunning underwater pictures of the Tubbataha Reefs National Park in the Philippines. The group is releasing them to mark "Coral Triangle Day" on June 9.

Stunning images from Coral Triangle —
The Coral Triangle stretches from the Philippines to Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands and Timor-Leste.

Images captured every two seconds —
A manta ray is seen gliding through the Kmodo National Park in Indonesia. Coral Triangle Day was conceived in November 2012 and aims to bring people together to find ways to protect and conserve the area.

Region brimming with reef life —
According to the Coral Triangle Initiative, the region is home to 76% of the world's known coral species. It also contains the highest reef fish diversity on the planet.

Getting up close with a manta ray —
The panoramic photos from Tubbataha, the Philippines will be published on Google Street View Maps. The images are captured using the SVII 360-degree panoramic camera, every two seconds as it moves along the reef.

Themed day aims to raise awareness —
The Catlin Seaview Survey team is taking surveys of the Coral Triangle throughout 2014 to create a baseline study of reefs. It's hoped the images will help local reef management.
