Jenah, the black-spot snapper, spends her life in all three tropical marine ecosystems - born in the mangroves, grows up in the seagrass beds and lives her adult life in the coral reefs. These ecosystems are as beautiful as they are threatened by human activity. Join her as she navigates the challenging path to adulthood; swimming amongst the feet of giants, greener on the other side and nature's art gallery. The Life and Times of Jenah is a labour of love. It is aimed at placing the viewer in the shoes, or rather the fins, of a fish that uses all three tropical marine ecosystems within its life cycle. Growing up, she encounters new ecosystems, meets new friends and faces human-induced threats. Yew Aun is a marine biologist by training and is currently working in the realm of biodiversity policy. He has a keen interest in biodiversity and conservation.
