Vote for Tubbataha Reef

Hi everyone!                                                              

The 96,000- hectare Tubbataha Reef, Asia's best marine park,
has been
nominated as one of the seven new Wonders of the World.

Tubbataha Reef is an atoll coral reef in the Sulu Sea that belongs to the
Philippines. It is a marine sanctuary protected as Tubbataha Reef
National
Marine Park. The reef is composed of two atolls,
North and South Reefs.
Each reef has a single small islet that
protrudes from the water. The
atolls are separated by a deep
channel
8 kilometers wide. Over one thousand species,
including many that are
endangered, can be found on the reef.
These include manta rays,
lionfish, tortoises,
clownfish and
sharks.

You can vote for Tubbataha Reef by
going to this site:

http://www.new7wonders.com/nature

Search for the nominees and you will be asked to vote for 7 sites.
The
trick is, choose Tubbataha Reef as your first choice
and for the other
six, select the most unknown nominees.
This gives more chances for
Tubbataha to make it to the top 21
finalists. Presently, it's ranked top 35, down from top 33 last week.

Thanks!
