Don't touch the corals in Punta Cana!

Posted 1 year ago by tyrone in response to avatar jasmine's question: Are we allowed to touch the corals we see during boat trips ? (give a different answer) .

Definitely not!!! Corals are living creatures, so you are not allowed to touch them or take a piece as a souvenir (They have a soul, you know!). At the customs, when we left Punta Cana, we were asked if we carry pieces of Corals. When we were on a snorkeling trip,, we saw many coloured corals and many tourists sitting on them or breaking them. It's sssooooooooooo forbidden ! :(
